Bargain Mini Finds On eBay!

Re: Bargain Mini Finds On eBay!
Don't know how many of you guys remember The Brady Bunch TV series, but the family had a maid named, Alice. Well, seems Mego made an 8 inch Alice figure and I found a nice example on eBay... as usual, dirt cheap!
Seems Alice has a pretty nice body. Who knew?
Don't really have a thing for Alice, just thought she'd make a nice lady friend for, Willie.
Well.... I'd say those two hit it off.

Look what Elvez brought home from the Women's Junior College...
That's located in eBay county.

Re: Bargain Mini Finds On eBay!
Thanks! Toothpaste is a mild abrasive, similar to jewelers polish. No harsh chemicals though and a lot cheaper. Great for buffing dull paint and light scratches.

So, some fabric from an old office chair, a couple Popcycle sticks, a bit of hot glue and voila!
I elected not to do so, but would not have been too hard to make this functional.

Man, I wish I’d learn from you and just get chit done instead of obsessing over every step… lol.
Look’s fantastic!
Re: Bargain Mini Finds On eBay!
Next thing you know, I'm ripping the fabric off, cutting it to size and ironing in the folds. That part was pretty easy. The fabric looks like burlap with some sort of plastic coating. When you take an iron to it, it gets tacky and sticks to itself. Perfect! Folded the edges over, added 3 pleats, done. Steamed and bent a couple popcycle sticks to the curve of the roof, glued them to the underside for support and wedged it in place.
Re: Bargain Mini Finds On eBay!
Well... not really. Just made a separate closed roof. No popcycle sticks this time though. I used toothpicks!

I hope to make some progress on my own sunroof today. Of course, being the gif master you are… I’d imagine it’ll be just a matter of time before your ladies DEMAND a functional sunroof.
Just sayin’…

Not so loud... they might hear you...
