Today I started restoring the driver figures for my vintage racers and 1 for my OG Super Shot that I didn't realise I hadn't done 😊 After gathering all the required parts I put them all through the media blaster to clean off any old materials, I then stripped them apart to clean out and removed any remaining sprue tabs. After reassembling I gave the seams a lite sand ( I'm not worried about them being visable as I think it is part of the charm ) A final clean then a couple of coats of Tamiya surface primer  

 

 

 

 

Tonight I started by masking the faces before applying the top coats, 2 helmets and and bodies in TS Pure white and 2 helmets and a body in TS Italian red 😊 Once dry enough I removed the masking and did the face colour, I'll leave them to dry completely overnight before I paint the belts and eyes aswell as the face mask for the Super Shot driver  

 

 

 

 

Zombie eyes Check 😄 Also painted the belts and the helmet pads to match, Next is to silver the belt buckles and the black trims 🧐

 

 

I'm sure thta I have one of your red helmet in one of my oldies Andy. Maybe the hornet.

So many time! 😲 he is always in the cockpit. 

Good enough for me I'll leave them till the weekend then clear coat  

 
 

Andy, you mention you will clear coat them? Do you mask the face for this?

No more masking, I like mine finished with a satin clear like the one I did for Flo 😊 

Yes too nice.
