These figures were made circa May 21 this year after scrolling through Gary K. Wolf's FB timeline. Seeing all the great fan art and interesting tributes and sightings he features made me want to make my own contributions to it, so I made these specifically for him and sent them along with the Benny and figures I showed earlier; after updating the small scale versions of the Rabbits to better resemble them.

I started with Jessica by tracing a vintage candle holder onto cardboard (albeit with the arms down and no basket) and shaping the rest of her with more layers before coating with moulding paste. Her arms were made of flexible cotton bud handles, but are not meant to be posed. The gloves and dress were made of paper, the (simplified) stilettos were wooden sticks and the base came from a plastic tealight casing. Her head was more tricky for me to get right, so I started on Roger and completed him before it was added. Her waist was initially too wide and many of her curves were missing, and the dress looked more like an apron or loincloth because the folds weren't added yet. Not to mention, there was little to no glitter since I took a little "too much care" when applying it despite adequate protection; three coats of spray lacquer were added to keep it from rubbing off.

Roger was sculpted without any physical references. He largely consists of the same flexible handles used for Jessica's arms, which were used for his neck, arms, legs and (updated) ears. Like his wife's dress and gloves, his overalls are made paper for the straps and trousers with buttons made of hole punch pellets (which were also used for his nose and [original] eyes). The gloves are cardboard strengthened with superglue and consist of circles that fit over the arms with flat hand shapes glued to them. The whiskers were made of wire and extended with black string to make them more visible. The tail is a crumpled piece of paper coated with cotton wool. Unlike Jessica, I knew his huge paws would eliminate the need for a base if replicated properly; that said, I did have to give him new pads to correct a minor stability issue. Even after I corrected his eyes, the top of his head still looks too short and I might sculpt him a better one; or an all-new version of him to make him smaller in general.

Large scale Roger and Jessica with their small scale counterparts

Lastly, here are three of Gary's posts featuring these takes on Roger and Jessica (previous versions) and Benny with 2/3 of his figures; he didn't show the small scale Jessica because I told him the large one "looks more faithful" and he (apparently) didn't see these updated revisions when I showed them. The other three posts showed the back views, but I can no longer access those without an account.

I was never too happy with how Roger's head turned out since it wasn't shaped anything like him, and trying to fix Jessica's hips at the last minute only managed to make her look worse. Roger's old body and ears were alright, so I only had to replace the rest of his head with a new one and the paper arms with white-coated wire. Some of the detail on the torso was also repainted, including a separately glued tie with some of the yellow dots (rather than a measly mark painted on with a blue pen).

Jessica needed an entirely new body, and only the head and arms were reused from the previous attempt. Her dress is now floor-length like the original, but will not be coated with glitter so it wouldn't rub off and stick to everything in her vicinity. Maybe I should've just made a new head because the old one kind of ruins her, even after adding a piece of paper to cover the wretched-looking "face". I don't really mind the fact she's a bit more oversized than before, because Eddie is bigger than 1:50 scale and she does scale better with Roger.

Close up of Eddie in Benny showing his tie repainted blue, red and white instead of plain black

Speaking of Eddie: I incorrectly painted his tie black, when it's actually (navy) blue, red and white with (what seems to be) a Union Jack-inspired pattern; likely because he was played by a British actor and the crew felt like paying tribute to his heritage. The palms of his (PLA) hands were trimmed slightly to look a little less deformed. Benny didn't need any updates other than regluing his front bumper and repainting one tooth.

This model originally started out as Noddy's cab in 2022, but I felt its proportions were hit-and-miss; mainly the doors being too close together and the bodywork lacking the curves of the original. Last month, I got the idea to repurpose it as Benny the Cab due to their similar designs and how the model's proportions seemed better suited for him. It originally had crappy hot glue wheels that were off-centred, warped and too thick, so I replaced them with cardboard ones with paper treads and reshaped the bonnet before painting it to resemble him.

A Noddy figure was replaced with Roger and Eddie, which were sculpted in cardboard, paper and PLA (using a 3D pen for the latter material). Eddie also uses a blob of hot glue for the head, which was previously made of paper and looked very unrealistic. That wouldn't do for a figure that's meant to look like a live action character.

A Jessica in the same style soon followed, which is also the first time I made a custom figure with a base. Roger could do with a redesign to look more in line with her. Even after adding an extra layer to her hair, she looks more accurate from behind and I kind of messed up at the front. As shown in the first photo, I've since added glitter to the dress and shortened the gloves by painting over the excess beyond her elbows. Full details and other photos (including progress) on my Blue Plastic Tracks thread.

I had a dream once where I was living in a world with 2D animated cartoon characters, there was a church and a bar. I went into the bar and Felix was giving a speech on Jesus, I sat down next to Mickey and asked, "What's he talking about?", Mickey responded, "Jesus, of course!" After that I went to the bar to chat with other toons. Betty Boop was my girlfriend and she invited me in.(She worked as a servant for drinks) That's all I remember sadly.
