well, o.k., then... but you've no idea how many johnny thunders i've
mutilated....

i have a teddy roosevelt/ rough rider thing going on as well. i modified a
baron head by removing the scar & moustache. then painting a brown van dyke • on.
using the baron torso w/ brown hat & legs, garnish with a white or yellow
feather... :-)

~i love the shiny monacle on the baron head, and also made a millionaire 'fig
by removing scar and moustache from the face, and painting sam sinister's • shirt
green for the body. so now, my expedition has it's wealthy backer as well.

using a johnny torso w/ the gun removed, add a timmie head w/ red baseball
cap... it's johnny's kid side-kick...uh.... i haven't thought of a
clever weather pun name yet...

one of my favorites is SCOOTER McCLOUD, harry cane's nephew. i used an aviator
body with a heavily modified sam sinister head. i removed the hair, evil
eyebrows, & van dyke, (just glasses and smile left) and painted red hair above
the eyes (like on a castle wench)

a painted black pith helmet on an older model policeman makes a great bobby. i
like the smile /sharp moustache for this one, and a grey stick from #7121 • makes
for a fine "unadulterated" nightstick, but a black lance cut in half is
perfect.

trust me, kids. craigo-lego is just the tip of the iceberg....when i can get • to
a scanner, all of this will be added.

i also made the hot air balloon from #5988 in gray and black, connecting two • of
the big black buckets (from #6037 ~witch's windship~) together with a pair of
the bricks that have bottom sockets on the sides. it has brown rigging instead
of black, and red trim along the top, but otherwise it's the same design.

this should keep y'all busy for a while...;-)

Thanks for all of those suggestions.  You're right about being busy for awhile!
One question though, when you say that you have taken off an eye brow here and
a mouth there how did you accoplish this?  Do you use the blade to literally
scrape off the paint or do you cut it off?  Or are you using the dull side of
the blade to remove the paint?  Perhaps a dremel tool?  LMK how you are
removing paint without dulling the plastic underneath, if you could be so kind.

Thanks,
Mark

yeah, i'm using the blade to literally scrape off the re-printed image. it's
the same rules and technique as shaving. be sure to use a very sharp blade, and
move it in clean, light strokes. keep the strokes going in one direction.
brasso will remove the paint without a trace, but it's hard to use when trying
to get these tiny selective removals. ~practice getting this light touch on a
timmie head!
