Pretty cool! I think I'm about to start a Freddy Flameout pretty soon myself. Bought the thing a decade ago, and then decided I just couldn't live with the head, which doesn't look much like the box art (which actually looks kinda cool).

But just today, in the Halloween section at Walmart, I found something I think will make a much better head for Freddy.... :P

Prime Time!

After a little more Sanding I applied a couple coats of DupliColor Filler/Primer. This helps to fill minor imperfections.

Next I applied two coats of White Primer.

Paint By Numbers!
I drew the Paint Lines on Frankie. This makes painting the different areas a little easier.

Almost Forgot his Eyes! I drilled out Frankie's Eyes so I can add Fiber Optics later.

Flower power?

Flowers in the Water...

I remember a "Frankenstein" and I think maybe the "Young Frankenstein" Movie where Frank and a little girl were throwing Flowers in the water together, but they soon ran out of Flowers. Next thing you know Frank is throwing the girl in the water. Frankie has more Flowers...Want to Play?

Frank is bringing more Flowers to play the "Throwing it in the Water Game". He seemed like a Gentle Monster at heart... B)

Frankie in Color!

I painted some Blue Jeans for Frankie. He is standing on his head until the paint dries.

Frankie Needs Scars!

I carved Frankie's Scars with a Scribe Point. There is one around each Wrist, one at the Hair Line on both sides and a Big One on his Forehead.

Here they are after a little Red Paint was applied.

Time to Wash Frankie!

I added a Decal to Frankie's T Shirt, and then sprayed on another coat of Dullcote.

Next I applied The Detailer, a Black Wash, and then another coat of Testors Dullcote.

Blood Shot Eyes!

I found an easy way to paint Blood Shot Eyes. I use Vallejo Acrylic paint, thinned with water, and applied with a Toothpick. These Multi-Color Toothpicks don't absorb much paint, so you can paint a pretty Fine Line with them.

I painted Frankie's Eyes and Teeth with a Clear Gloss Enamel. After the Enamel dried I applied some Black Wash around the Eyes.

Staples!

Frankie's Scars along the forehead are Stapled together. I made the Staples with RC Stripping Tape.

I brushed a coat of Dullcote over the Staples to help hold them in place.

Nothing in This Hand!

I decided to get rid of the Vase, so I removed it with a Dremel Tool.

DSCN5853F_zpse8e7711e.jpg

Then I glued a piece of plastic in the carved out area and smoothed out the Palm with some Aves Apoxy. this stuff is very thick and you cam work with it for a couple hours before it gets hard. I like this product, especially for repairing a painted Model.

Here is the Palm after a little clean up and paint. Look no Vase!

Here is the back of his Hand, Finished!

Making the Base!

I started with a lid to a Cookie Can and sprayed it Flat Brown.

DSCN5489R_zpsd693c519.jpg

Next I smeared some White Glue on the Base. After the Glue Dried I smeared more White Glue on to create more texture.

DSCN5506F_zps67240ae4.jpg

Then I sprinkled some "Earth", brown sawdust, on the wet glue. I bought the "Earth" from the local Hobby Shop in the Trains Department.
