    Yes, take care of yourself Pat. Car accidents have a way of coming back to haunt you several days after they occur.

    Thanks guys, next time I'll be careful.... The Cops told them to staying away from me and they'll keep watching them for me.

    Thanks bro!

    On the right eye has been messed up... I removing and repainting many times, it is very hard work. Now it looks good, need little more red paint on the right eye to level as left round and smooth. I'm waiting for the red paint to drying well then will adding red paint on the center of eye, to see if it's enough or not. If it's enough then will be ready to painting the black pupils, adding little more white sides to matches left eye, eye browns and hair. I dunno how long it'll be finish, I'll post here with new pics when it's done.

    Looking good. If you are having trouble painting the pupil of eye try using a toothpick with paint on end. It works kind of like a stamp. Practice on piece of paper or practice head to see if you like results.

    Thanks buddy, I've tried used wood toothpick that doesn't works right on tinny eyes. So, I used different sized of sew needles to painted on the side of white eyes. I used a used medium sized magnify that has some scraches, it's old but will buying a new one with stand and light on that'll helps me with my custom job. When I'm finished painted the head and few of paint drop spots and spills, I removed them with a wood toothpick that does works good. I'm finished painted the head, I'm pretty happy with results. Will rubbing few paint spots off where it has slight over painted around. The arylic paint has slight flat, will works with little ArmorAll on the head to keep it shinny or painting it with a clear coat for acrylic paint? I can't remember that might have one at any Craft Stores.

    More pics with different brighten color and backgrounds that I edited them in the Photo Paint Shop called "GIP 2" with gray animation Wolf icon on the Computer Desktop, looks good, had many crappy pics from my cheap camera - haven't figuring it out how do adjust the len, etc but will reading it's original Camera Owner's Manual.

    Here's another new pics.
