Blood Shot Eyes!I found an easy way to paint Blood Shot Eyes. I use Vallejo Acrylic paint, thinned with water, and applied with a Toothpick. These Multi-Color Toothpicks don't absorb much paint, so you can paint a pretty Fine Line with them. I painted Frankie's Eyes and Teeth with a Clear Gloss Enamel. After the Enamel dried I applied some Black Wash around the Eyes. More Coming...

Nothing in This Hand!I decided to get rid of the Vase, so I removed it with a Dremel Tool. Then I glued a piece of plastic in the carved out area and smoothed out the Palm with some Aves Apoxy. this stuff is very thick and you cam work with it for a couple hours before it gets hard. I like this product, especially for repairing a painted Model. Here is the Palm after a little clean up and paint. Look no Vase! Here is the back of his Hand, Finished! More Coming...

Making the Base!I started with a lid to a Cookie Can and sprayed it Flat Brown. Next I smeared some White Glue on the Base. After the Glue Dried I smeared more White Glue on to create more texture. Then I sprinkled some "Earth", brown sawdust, on the wet glue. I bought the "Earth" from the local Hobby Shop in the Trains Department. More Coming...

Chains!Dolores gave me this Lucky Charm Chain a while ago. Looks like a perfect fit for Frankie. I split one of the Big Links, opened it up and crimped it around Frankie's Wrist. The Link wasn't large enough for his Wrist, so there was a gap in the Link. I glued a length of the Chain in the gap with Zap-A-Gap. I also split the Link at the end of the Chain and Glued it on. I did the Left the same as the Right, except there is only one Link left on the Chain. More Coming...
