The Boy and His Progress
Felt like being a bit extra here, hehe. Some of you wanted progress shots of Roadkill! I'm here to deliver. 💛🌻
💛 This is the boy when he first arrived! Almost as soon as I got him, I had to open him up. 💛
💛 Since his right lashes were already gone, I went ahead and tried to remove the other set as well. When I removed the eyelids, I found most of his right eyelashes were actually pushed up into his eye...ouch! I got all of them out and went to work. 💛
💛 I assessed the damage, and went out to buy myself some sandpaper. I sanded down the warped plastic of his eyelid. 💛
💛 Using some air dry clay and paitence, I patched the little hole that had been made! I painted it uniform black, and it looked almost perfect! 💛
After that, the rest is fairly self explanatory. I did a bit of seam ripping and re-sewing for the peets, made some (temporary) eye chips, and voilá! Put the boy back together and he's good as new!
I can't tell you how happy I was to be able to at least fix up his eyelid. The faceplate will be a challenge for later down the road, which I will keep ya'll updated on! 💛🌻
