I tired something that I have been thinking of since embellishing my last pilot figurine. I took a heat gun to the face and head of Dima this AM. I slowly heated his noggin and, before my eyes, Dima began to mutate genetically. Compare the face on the right to the visage of Dima on the left. I think you can see the alteration. Dima is no longer a standard William's Brothers figurine. His face represents the look of the Mongol Russians, the Tartars from southern Russia. However this facial modification method to genetic engineering is a crap shoot. The method of Predetermining the outcome and the controlling of the metamorphosis, has yet to be discovered...something to ponder before festooning a pilot for “Ogre”! Incidentally, you all may remember the aviator on the right. He is one of the Schnazola brothers. They are the gents in the crop dusting business. While the kids were playing with my Stearman crop duster, he ejected from the craft. He was lost for a period of time, almost 2 years. A recent vacuum of the floor under a couch brought him back to me, and eventually to his business. He will, once again, occupy the Stearman drivers seat when that bipe has its spring cleaning. |

It helped me correct a spacial issue with a fuselage fiormer thingie. So if you wonder why the 5 stack is longer this is why....because it can be :-))) |
