Was digging through my spares bin a while ago and came across a figure I git from a flea market for $1 many years ago.  A little bit of carving off a sleeve, some foil and putty work, replace the rag with the dog food can and  Anybody know what breed Dog was? |

You're right about dirtying those pipes up to make them blend in a little better. Lookin' great and can't wait to see what you'll do with the figure.
On a side note, I had a red heeler for a while and he was a GREAT dog. Had to watch him around the little ones every once in a while but they're herding dogs and tend to want to do their job.....even on kiddos. lol

Ours is a Smithfield, born with the stumpy tail. She hates little dogs, kids, strangers, eldest boys ex girlfriend  ( but we all did!). We take her to work and when we are away from the trucks or gear, leave her tied to 1 of them, no one gets close and we know someone is around. Ours isn't much of a herder, just waits til you get within range!  |

Great job, particularly starting from where you did. I didn't notice the missing pipes either until you mentioned them. Agree it kind of looks better without them, but have to include them or its not "the last of the V8 interceptors".

Came close when I started cutting the side window out of the glass and a crack headed straight for the windshield.  |
