I was going to skip Galactus and just track down the legs I'm missing for the Marvel Legends figure, but this one will look a lot less out of place on my desk.  Decisions...

Don't do it, Ryan! Everyone knows JB eats children for breakfast!

So bring 'em over in the afternoon.

I have extras, I'll just bring over the most expensive ones.  Dance lessons and diapers ain't cheap.

What brand(s) of paint did you end up with, JB?  Fleshtones, yellows and reds have always been the toughest on me to get right.  Great start so far.  I'd probably kill myself trying to get all the "Where the heck is High River?" lettering on her shirt.

You are so totally going to pull this off.  It's a great start.

I ended up going with Testors enamels. Found a cheap "carousel" that had
gloss and matt colors -- tho not all of them! Kind of faking the flesh tones
with "Tan". Have to mix in some red and a hint of green to get it right.

Still -- more pleased with the result, so far, than I expected to be!

Where the heck is High River?

It's where my dad got his driver's license, that's where.
