Looks great. You've got me thinking about upgrading the Majestic Studios doll that I have now. What did you use for the hair?

Quite so DrMcoy,quite so....:lol
Howlrunner,that would be a good project to tweak the Majestic one a bit.For the hair,I used a pair of curtain tie backs
like the one pictured,I unpicked the tassel,they have the right look but are straight and a bit too shiny,so a bit of work
is required to get the messed up style like the original......

Well,he's just about finished,not totally accurate to the original I know,but I'm mostly happy with him.
Hoping to get some more accurate skirt material in the near future(fingers crossed Steve)

What did you do to the tassles to get the messed up look for the hair?
He's looking great! Will have to repaint the eyes on my M.S. doll (they're red instead of dark brown), weather the bright white teeth and then seriously consider shaving his head and redoing his hair...

Thanks to one and all for all the encouragement,I didn't think that my little build would garner
so much interest,the kind words are most appreciated.
Howlrunner,what I did with the hair was to separate the tassle into more manageble amounts,say five or six per.
Then I got some of that hair product that makes you look like you've been at the beach all day,I used Shockwaves
Go Matt Clay, and just rubbed that into the strands,it's quite sticky stuff and it gets a bit messy! Then when the strands
were well coated I wrapped them around some long handled paint brushes,about 10mm thick ones.I fixed either end with
masking tape and left them to dry overnight,when dry unwind from the brush and tease them out abit,and there you go!
I used some of my other halfs strong hair spray when it was on his head to help against drop out of the waves...
