I built this SURFINK for a Buddy I met on eBay a couple of years ago and again here on EdRothWorld.com last year. I have already built him an ANGEL FINK and I'm working on a '64 BROTHER RAT FINK on a BIKE that you won't believe.
Here's what I did to this one:
*All seams filed, filled, and sanded smooth.
*An aluminum plate was cut and positioned in the wave cut out and a hole was drilled through the plate , the surfboard, and a plastic plug that was glued to the back foot. Everything is screwed together with one small brass screw.
*Flesh tones and sunburn were achieved by blending orange and white acrylics right on the model.
*I detailed the fingernails and toenails with a white free edge.
*The surfboard's colors came from PRISMACOLOR pencils then it was clearcoated with a catalyzed automotive clear.
*The draw strings on his trunks are painted 22 ga. floral wire.
*The "R.F." hat was a Halloween witch's hat that I "customized" into a Hillbilly Crash Helmet.
*The larger eyes on the crab are small beads.

Hope you like it ...Weldon
