    A little more work with the Sharpie

    I found a Peach and a Dark Brown sharpie. See last pic
    Before As found March 21, 2009


    After cleaning and pressing his suit and coloring his head


    A little more presentable.

    Flesh paint would probably look better!


    Can't win them all! Ponch's face is a little too red!


    Found a Peach and a Brown Sharpie. Used the peach on Jon and the Brown and Peach on Ponch to try and tone down the red.


    Camera pics up more variations in the color than I can see with just my eye!

    Better than Zombies but Ponch looks like he spent too much time in the sun!

    Jon's a little splotchy around his nose and mouth. It's cool of you to keep working on this and posting the results.

        The camera picks up the splotchyness. i can't really see it with my eyes. From a few feet away Jon looks good. Not as Pink as before.

        My experiment on Ponch didn't work so well. I didn't seem to be getting any results so I took the marker to a wet (rubbing alcohol) head and quickly wiped it with a wet cotton ball. That experiment failed! I guess I will have to find some paint and repaint his head.

        Figured I'd show the results, good or bad, so that others could make a decision to try it or something else.

        These are also my first attempts at restoring heads.

        Thanks for the complements and critiques!
