While it's definitely not beach weather everywhere, the recent 80s plus here in northern Virginia prompted the break out of this new arrival.
Freddy Flypogger as Flip Out the Beachcomber:
A fun, easy, and well produced kit.
Thanks to Atlantis for doing it justice after all these years.
Skin tones, starfish and shark are rattle can Rustoleum bases and overspray.
Lotsa brushwork on most everywhere else. Some putty filler to fill out his hairline a bit.
Eyes, teeth and incoming wave also got some Pledge top coat.
The board was also rattle canned, then masked for a coat of white, and finished with pearl and satin clear.
Surf's up, my dudes!
Thanks for keeping it sunny!

I'd considered giving him a Puka shell necklace, but, since he has no neck, he had to settle for that nautical bracelet instead.  |
