Lost Boys David - part 3

Part 1
Part 2
 We start off this final session with paint to his leather jacket. As soon as I put the first bit of it down I realized it was the wrong color. But decided lets see what happens - Bob Ross' Happy accidents and all...

While I'm thinking about it, I turn once again to the base. I add a variety of colors to what looks like 2 broken logs some dirt and rocks. Then decided for whatever reason (?) it needed a little purple on the rocks -


Nope. After a few coats of Citadel's Nuln Oil, I decide the Vallejo Orange Brown base for the leather jacket isn't going to work. So I go back to my old standby V's Leather Brown (Doh).
A coat of Nuln Oil later and it looks like what I want - dark - but not black or gray - 
 
A little hard to see but the scratch built earring is in place

 Jumping back to the base, I added some clumps of grass to the dirt areas. Then I get a brainstorm and decided to create the Chinese food carton of worms/noodles. Unless provided, none of my models have title cards. So I decided to try and make one. Since the model is from a movie I decided to somehow try to incorporate into clap board to the title card. I print out a few sizes of the logo, and spray them with a Satin Poly to seal the ink. I pick what I think is the best size, and then start cutting styrene. Nothing super accurate, just so people will recognize what it is. What a pain in the you know what to do the stripes simply with just the Tamiya tape I had on hand.  IMHO it turned out ok - 
Looking it over, I think I'm done. As always, I could tinker with it forever, but at some point I have to abandon it. ;)  Thanks for looking.

A little hard to see but I added 0.01 solder to mimic the threads from the missing button
