They say the eye is the window to the soul - this guys got a black heart :) Gave the mouth some more detail. Copped a darker red, then some black too. I smeared the wet black paint with a rag, came out pretty cool. I also burnt the edges of the mouth to 'hide' the edge a little. Overal view with the mouth paint Here he is with the eye - finally getting an idea of how it actually look. Im thinking I might ditch the hair idea. Next is clear polly (I did think about leaving it natural, but black hands every time I move it said otherwise). Then install the teeth (still working that out), and scarf and patch. Then its hot rod time! :) Bailey is wondering when I will mow the lawn...

More pics!
