I'd forgotten all about this one 'till I came across it yesterday so I decided to do it right now before I forget again !

It's one of the "Wally Gator" resins by Jimmy Flintstone , the other being just a standing figure . If you're not familiar with Wally Gator it was a Hanna-Barbera series back in 1962-63 that also included cartoons of Lippy The Lion and Touche Turtle .

After an hour or so cleaning up the parts I was happy to find that they fit together very nicely !

Time was spent this morning fitting the arms , then a little white craft paint over the metal before priming everything .

That's it except for the painting . I may add just a bit to the boat . . . gotta personalize it right ?

Stay Tooned !

This is what I came up with . Still gonna dress it up a bit and add those cool fins on the bottom !

Thanks ! It has a lot of metalflake in it but I screwed up when spraying it . I'm gonna try and fix it without stripping the whole thing , probably won't work , but I'm gonna give it a shot .
