Thanks for the method for the wood. Sounds very good.

Heads are still in progress, bodies got two coats of base colours followed by high/low lights & washes ... still need to do some more on the hands & undershirts, possibly another wash or two to get the colours a bit more even on the suits

Painted the heids & made some appropriate transfers

It is all the family

My dirty one

I am refreshing my falcon and today I had 2 hours to kill.
I can't work on my 1/1 th car (I only have 1.5 hand available )
I decided to make a Freddie Wilson

I tried coal black leather dye from Tandy Leather Factory on my last driver for some depth. A very little goes a long way. Dry brush on, drys in seconds then wipe off the high spots and seal with a matte coat. Looks good enough for me.

dude!

I'm not planning on painting these any time soon, but I do want to get them properly prepared & primed before the weather turns...


Pile of Willys + leftovers...





Arms, legs & heads glued...




Filler - I've found it's easier to do the boot/arm joins (and sand them back) before gluing the arms to the body & re-filling:

Progress, sort of - I forgot to plug the holes in the back of the Willy bus drivers ... photo # 2 looks a bit rude
