Tips for Crow
1. It's smart to put a basecoat of regular gold paint on after the paint, but before the Lime-gold. Even the Brains did that for the last season, which is why Crow was more gold during the final season. You also use less lime gold by doing this.
2. You should make Crow's arms using 1/4" or 3/8" square plastic channels. It makes it much lighter and easier to paint.
3. It's good to use elastic "string" for the return "spring" for Crow's mouth.
4. Ed Miarecki sells Cooper XL7 recasts. Use this if you can't find a real one, or don't want to use a different model.
5. It's possible to use an original Schwarz Bros soap dish, however it might be a pain to hollow it out with a dremel or a saw. Just buy a vacuformed one--it's probably cheaper.
