Pictures of your driver figure

Recommended Posts

Finished. Sanded his pointy nose down a bit, gave him some stubble and a grubby white shirt. Would like to have made the eyes better but I think that’s the best I can do.

  If you’re talking about mine, Thanks very much 👍🏻  
  I only see myself shadowing in the talent among members on here. 
  It was more luck than judgement if I’m honest as it was my first WW figure using up what I had to hand. 
  
  I painted the face with (all Humbrol’s) flesh mixed with a dap of mat brown. 
  Next, gloss white for the eyes, then apply Metallic Green with a bamboo kebab skewer, and scrape through it with the tip before it dries to show the white radiating out for the iris. Then gloss black for the pupil. 
  Then mix a bit of flesh with a touch of mat red and using the skewer again add detail to creases in the skin around the nose & eyes with a bit of smudging. 
  The helmet was going to be Mica Petroleum the same as the car but I didn’t have any left so got the dark grey instead.

Bamboo skewer is a great idea. I was relying on the smallest of brushes, which was nowhere near good enough.

Really impressive result B)

It's a younger version of me driving the FJ40.

A friend used to own a 3D printing company and made a scan of my face and printed it. Weird.

Spent a bit more time on the eyes this time. Slowly getting better.

Dead Willy is a converted key chain from Disneyland. Ink washed paint on the skull and used a Bullet riddled GI Joe helmet rescued from my Dog chewing on it.

Willy 1 driver custom painted for me by Fabrzio.  An amazing amount of detail.

Another driver Fabrzio did for me is in my Rough Rider. You can see the hair of his eyebrows.

Big a fan of Matt Hicks Wild Wendy figures. My Wild Wendy 1

Here are a couple of more Wendy 3’s that don't have a vehicle yet. 

This is Postal Wendy.  A tribute to my favorite United States postal service employee that brings me presents all the time.

Here is Speed Wendy.  I’m probably going to switch out Wendy 1 with this one in my blown Wild Willy 2

Wow, amazing skills out there! @Juggular your faces look so real they seem photoshopped on the helmets 👍

I'm learning a TON from this thread.  Most notably, how to paint the eyes..  I've got a few driver figures I can go back and try to improve on.

My dual rider driver. 
The decals included in the driver figure kit take care of most the details. But I still used a wash technique to get wrinkles on the shirt and gloves.

My first time painting in... 25+ years?  found some really old paint and still did ok.  The helmet unfortunately got many more layers than desired after some paint not working right.  I like this driver figure in particular, especially for the open helmet with visor option.  I can't seem to find that virtually anywhere.  I'd love it, but the head is 20-30% too big.  I know, it is for the comical line of cars and the trike. This one is for a off-road buggy project, and I like the modern rally helmet look.  I might get the oomph to add a microphone piece in there...

Oh! the Shades are slightly clear!  I was wondering about that.  It looks good.

Hey, thanks! 
 

if I was doing it again I’d use the gloss red on the helmet & gold on the gloves.

I was going to just use the shades but stuck the eyes on for the brows and the eyes show through the glasses a bit.
