    They've gone to plaid!

    I haven't posted a finished custom in over a year, mainly because I haven't made one. I was pestered sufficiently by one of my new daughters to make a Lone Star for her that I finally pulled out some of the old supplies, some sculpy and a new toothpick, and came up with not only Lone Star but also Barf!
    Cut to Christmas morning...it's a blurry pic but she was so happy and surprised she teared up.

    and here are a few better shots of the figures


    It felt great making a few customs again!

            I love them both! What can I say! What did you use for his tail? Looks great! I was going to use a Bob Hogg head but your choice looks much better!
            Great job!

                    Thanks for the kodoo's everyone!
                    For those interested, Lone Star is a heavily re-worked John Boy head. I actually used a casting of the Ash head I made last year which was made from a John Boy head. CTVT shirt and pants, a mego Fonzie jacket, Menuto boots, and an original mego body. Barf is a re-worked WOZ head still recognizable but it's also heavily re-worked. His overalls are from the Lost figure line. furry feet and tail sewn and the tail has a pipe cleaner in it to pose. The converse hightops were from a dollar store. He is built on a ctvt re-strung type 2 body and the overalls are stuffed with a few cotton balls. That's about it.
