My sculpting material and the model just happened to be the exact same color, which was not planned at all. The oversized fly hairs are bits of wire I cut and shoved into the Sculpey clay, after baking I went back in with glue and made sure they wouldn't be slipping out. The baking process cracked the thin layer of clay I used around the head and I spent some time applying glue to repair it. Overall, this just added more texture to the head and was not an issue. I chopped off a bit of the models sleeve to accommodate my custom fly arm, the head which I had planned out with my foam fit perfectly in the neck hole provided by the model kit. I applied a liberal coat of spray primer to both model and custom pieces and painted them before assembling. On the Fly head I used a clear coat of pearlescent pigment which made the head extra shiny. The painting was all done with an airbrush and acrylic paints.
