Another WeirdOh Bash that popped into my brain.... and luckily I got it out and onto my bench  !  Whoa! Didn't think the picture was so big! Anymay.... here's the plan: Bash poor old Davey (again) off his motosickle and onto a weird snowmobile. Turns out we'll be bashing the newer, kinder, less scary(?) Davey from TV land..... aaaaand making him...a HER! "Daring Dee- Snowmobile Queen" Very fake boobies here.....   Here's the offending TESTORS box. Seems the only change is Davey's head. But parts to be used (tentatively) are just out of surgery, and in post op here. Davey is still Davey so far, and all wrapped up in flexible bandages.  Stuff works great for odd shaped model parts..... and most of the models we work on qualify as such  Thanks for looking. Stay Tooned... |

Botox.... , maybe more like Bashtox?  Anyway, thanks all.... here's the latest 👇  Decided that Dee will be wearing a tousle cap, so I carefully cut Davey's exquisite hat off to save for another build, aaaaand he didn't have any brain!!!   Ok, here I am working on forming one of Dee's boobies, using the Drag Hag leg, heated over that candle there. Kinda a sports bra look, so that'll work 👍👍  Have her arms mocked up here, and she did get her upper lip 'Botoxed', built up with some styrene sheet. Drag Hag legs & butt look good on her, and I did cut a good bit off Davey's shoulders width. Trying out position on her snowmobile too, and glued a base for her tousle cap on top of her skull....  Burned quite a few precious brain cells trying to come up with a way of making a winter coat for Dee, and wrapped her with cloth sport tape, to soften corners, bulk it up a bit, then gave it all a good coat of TiteBond wood glue to hopefully keep the sports tape in place..... and then.... I remembered my box of homemade sawdust! Dunked her in and she's wearing a fuzzy sweater!   Hopefully most of it stays, and that I can find a way to properly color it. Photoshopped it pink here and her tights black. Might give her pink fuzzy boots too..... Soon, very soon, I can start fabricating her snowmobile Thanks for looking and stay Tooned!

One hot trans/daddio.... ?🤔🤣 Hey- don't blame me! Davey was fine until TESTORS repopped him....  Anyway, this is Dee the snowmobile Queen's WIP thread, so let's see where she is now....  Ah yes, she ssems to be at a shoe store  getting her boots.  Yep. Shoe store. Boy, that doesn't look comfy at all. Looks like those boots fit good though.  Cool! Onsite custom tread! Using the tail off a rare triangular rat to form those valleys.  Back at the shop here, and here's Dee on a paper mockup of her sled. Miss Pizza Head....  . Really need to get her tousle cap on the work list.....  And finally, a bit o' Photoshop on a hot day.... pixelling outloud on how her sled might look. Seriously did not know that there were rear engine snowmobiles way back. Perfect! I get to scratch up another WeirdOh-ish engine! As always, thanx for looking, and stay Tooned 👍👍 |

Thanks guys. Getting closer to working on the sled, but....  Gotta get Dee situated so I can fabricate around her. Pulling the tape off her second boot here. Taped the boot top off, brushed the TiteBond wood glue on, sprinkled sawdusties on, and pulled the tape before the glue dried. Got a nice clean edge.  Then started on her cheap sunglasses. .030" styrene sheet is pretty cheap  After getting her frames done, I added her really dark lenses.... LOL! Thinking white frames and mirror lenses, and just got me one of those Molotov chrome pens, so we'll see what happens.  Got her boots and tights covered wit gloss black acrylic craft paint, and leaving the fur on the boots natural color.  And finally started addressing her pizza head..... doing some tousle cap design work in Photoshop, and trying different color combos. If the Molotov pen doesn't pan out, I'll go with a very dark gloss green or purple for her sunglass lens.

There's a thing about this shot that will influence my future Monsters and Mayhem builds. It's something that the Deal's Wheels have, that I've noticed none of the other character builds (Roth, Weird-Ohs, Aurora, etc.) on my shelves have.
You have Dee's head turned to be looking off left, instead of straight ahead! It adds that bit of nuance, a natural "oh, yeah" feel.
Thanks, John. When I can, I'm gonna start offing heads!

Always glad to help my fellow Tooned Fellows 😊 Yes- quite so- OFF WITH HER HEAD! 😄😄 I think I started doing that, cutting my WeirdOh heads off, because the build/bash made it neccessary for the head to be repositioned. That was part of Dee here, and the turning side to side was a nice surprise bonus. Thinking she will get a turtleneck of some kind now.  Ok.... it's been awhile, but Dee's green now, got a really weak mitten on her bars, and we slicked her up with some lumpy Molotov chrome sunglass lenses, and she's just happy to do some posing and daydreaming.  Let her dye her hair, and put some lipstick on, but.....  😳.... not sure if we're revisiting the gender bendering thing- but her lip looks like a moustache now! Man! I hate/love scratch/bashing..... 😂😂  Well, moving on, I gave Dee some "real" eyes- circles glued on to help with painting, and here, Little Red has offered her his hat..... I made her headband out of posterboard and wrapped it with a few wraps of masking tape, then used hot melt glue to secure it.  Bit of fast forward, as I used the top of an Aqua Fina water bottle for a base for Little Red's hat, then wrapped it all up with Tamiya tape, 1/8-1/4" wide, and hot glued it inside the headband. Pretty happy with it, so far, mostly because it helps detract from Dee's mustache..... 🤗😂😂 Alrighty then my fine fellows..... as always, thanks for looking, and stay Tooned.
