Is this the latest topic dress for the popular boys doll ?

Have the manufacturers gone mad ?

Sorry, no. What you are looking at is the driver for my Tomkat being painted. The figure needs a wetsuit to look right so I filled all the joins with Milliput and then sprayed the figure with high-build filler primer. Loads of it. Enough to take the edge of Action Mans rippling torso as well as the slightly lumpy filler around his knees and elbow.

What I didn’t want to do is paint the bits that should be skin coloured, hence the masking tape. No point in taping up the head though so that gets a bag with just a hint of tape.

Who knows, perhaps I’ve started a fashion !
