I boiled & popped off Scarecrow's head & carefully pried off his vest. I had to snip off where the tubes were glued under his belt. His torso articulation is no longer restricted. The upper torso underneath the vest was smoother than what’s below it. I scored some texture into it. The lower torso has some closure stitches that didn’t match above. I tried to mimic that above with plastic filament that refused to adhere. It was easier to glue the laces diagonally. I filled in the hole in his back so he wouldn’t look too wrong from behind. I cut off the plug from inside the vest in hopes it’ll make it easier to switch on & off without wrecking the paint. I sliced both instances of fused tubes on his arm & vest apart. Surprisingly I was able to do this without needing to glue any back on. He received a full repaint.
Do you prefer him with or without the vest on? Check out more photos of him on my WordPress blog, Matt The Catania!
