All in

In between slapping paper clay onto my alien, I'm building this Charlie conversion figure. So far, the mechanics are almost all in. The mouth opens and closes with a steel spring, the eyes move left and right and self-center, and the eyebrows wiggle up and down.

There are still details that need to be added to the mechanics, but the next push will be to paint him with a few more coats. I also need to paint in eyelashes and rosey-up his cheeks.

This is still a warm-up for my attempt to build one of my original characters. After a 5-year lay-off, I want to make sure I still know how to do it.
