FREDDY Gets Some COLOR!!!

Sprayed Freddy with some DupliColor White Primer.

Next I hand painted a coat of "Wood Color" Acrylic, for Freddy's Tan!

I mixed 2 Yellows and some White for the Freddy's Sun Bleached Hair.

Oh No!

Freddy forgot His Pants Again...

Ira,

Thanks for the Suggestion Bob!

FREDDY'S SHORTS!!!

I drew an outline for Freddy's Cut-Offs with a pencil.

Then I used Blue Acrylic mixed with a little White and painted His Shorts.

Freddy's Belt is made from 1/8th inch wide Masking Tape painted Brown.

I made the Belt Loops with stripping tape and painted them Blue.

The Belt Buckle is Silver Stripping Tape.

Almost forgot...made Freddy's Belly Button with a Dremel Tool.

Looking great! But I was expecting Baggies on a 60's surfer.

Thanks Craig!

Freddy is a 2012 Surfer from Northern California.

Cut-Offs are very popular here, but the Surfers wear Wet Suits most of the time when Surfing because of the cool water temp.

FREDDY'S NEW SURF BOARD!!!

Freddy's Board is painted with Testors Saffire Blue on top and Testors Jade Green on the underside.

The decals are from Slixx.

Nice & Shiny!!!

SHINE-OFF!!!

I sprayed Freddy with some Dullcoat to seal the Acrylic Paints.

[cobraman]

Freddy gotta cool board. Did you mark your Dullcoat spray can top with a "D" ? I do the same thing with those cans.

Thanks Ray!

Yea, I mark the Dullcoat with a D and the Glosscoat with a G...

[Ira]

SHINE ON!!!

I painted Freddy's Eyes, Teeth, Lips, Toe & Finger Nails with Clear Gloss Enamel.

The Gloss Features Really Stand Out!

[Ira]

GOIN' To The BEACH!!!

I Filled Holes, Cut Off Mounting Pegs and Covered the Writing in the Sand on Beach Bunny's "Beach Base"...

Then I Brushed the Base with Elmers White Glue and the Sprinkled Sand over the Glue.

Looks like the Beach to me...

[crazyjim]

Yup. Looks like a beach, and Freddy has nice SHINY :) teeth.

[Ira]

FINAL DETAILS!!!

Went looking for sea shells at the Beach, but ended up finding some really nice Shells at the Harbor Gift Shop...

HEY!!! Who woke up the Locals?

After gluing Freddy to the Beach Base, I positioned the Surf Board and Carved out a slot for the Board.

THAT'S ALL FOLKS!!!

Finished Photos of Freddy Flip Out will be Posted Soon...

Excellent. I think Freddy needs a tattoo on his arm.

[cobraman]

Good choice with the In & Out. Maybe a tat would look good too as suggested above. (?)
