Along with my Mike Brose-cast dummy project, I've purchased an old Charlie McCarthy doll and some Braylu parts to build a "semi-pro" vent figure. I figure I'd build it, then sell it to subsidize (and use up) the supplies I've purchased to build the pro dummy. Plus, I think I'll improve my skills.
The Charlie I bought is a bit battered, so he'll require some sanding, ApoxySculpt patching, and painting. I think I'll be able to salvage and use the arms and legs from the original. Since I have to ApoxySculpt a few dings, I thought I might as well alter his appearance slightly for practice. I'm actually excited (and intimidated) by the prospect of creating a different look.
This project will also give me something to do while the pro vent figure's paint dries.
Better than just WATCHING it dry!
