Acid Willy
UPDATE: March 2013: Well I finally got around to modifying another Willy head - this time I raised the brow part of the helmet, cut MX style vents in the chin guard (complete with foam inserts!) and made a working visor/shield from a piece of clear plastic packaging and a couple of low-profile allen bolts. Acid Willy is now behind the wheel of the Fro-Sco - I left off the bottom half of his right foot to clear the steering servo - perfect!
Previously... You wait ages for a new Willy, then two come along at once! Actually, this version is not quite finished yet - I have plans for an alternative helmet [SEE ABOVE] but this will be Willy's outfit for riding around in the Fro-Sco...
I started off painting the overalls mustard, then orange, then red - but none of them really grabbed me... So I started to sand the paint off, and the result was this sort of urban camo effect, in Acid colours! I dry-brushed some dirt into his creases, dressed him in some gardening gloves - and hey presto! - the stuff sartorial nightmares are made of! Jx
1 Helmet has working visor cut from clear plastic Chin guard vents with foam insert Willy mounts to Fro-Sco chassis Allen bolts used for visor pivots Right foot back section left off to clear servo Original head... Didn't like red... (or orange or yellow) But sanded back was quite effective acid camo!
