Two coats of varnish and I remembered to paint his accessory before I coated him, so that was fortunate. Less fortunate was thinking using water-based felt tip pens was a good idea, then finding blue and black smearing all over his pretty pink face when I started with the varnish. Oops!
I'm in two minds about the fez. My friend the crazy Kiwi artist who is an expert at construction amazing additions to these sculptures (and plastic ducks) tells me to fill the fez with P40 and upholstery foam before P40'ing the hat to his head. Which is fine but I can see it going horribly wrong.
