Eager Beaver

Nursing a bloody awful summer cold I've spent a lot of time indoors this week. In between sneezing and coughing I've entertained myself making and fixing stuff.

First up was this old doggy ornament of my Sister's. It was missing tails and one ear. 

Some FIMO later and voila! New ear and tails. It can be returned to my Sis now.

Next on the bench was this old bagged German doll called Miriam. Her left leg was kaput.

Luckily all her broken parts were still in the bag, so with super glue to hand I was able to rebuild it.

Not Jamie Summers but it's a leg of sorts.

The shattered right foot is a work in progress. To add extra strength and surface to the rebuilt leg I brushed it twice with PVA.

Miriam is to be continued.

Next up was further whitening of my new Dinky Amphibious Coastguard. Pics to follow of this.

Finally I've been beavering away at another Action Man uniform, the Mountie, which I loved as a kid.

Finding the jacket at a boot sale was the spark to make a new one.

Some work on this you've already seen. Here's more behind the seams!

Blue velvet jodhpurs are done.

The Sangria hat is painted.

And a taster of what's next.

Leave it to Beaver!
