Here's a blast from the past to help add to my werewolf collection - if Wolfie from the 1970's cartoon Groovy Goolies. I got this 3D print from Scott Johansen, who has an arrangement with a 3D artist producing a lot of the characters from our childhoods.
For some reason I was the age to watch the cartoon, but I just don't remember it. No matter, he's still a werewolf and a welcome addition.
He's probably 200mm in height and comes in 7 parts of gray resin.
The first thing I had to get used to seeing and fixing was the "chicken skin" that's left after the supports are removed from the part. The second thing is filling the holes formed so that when the part is built hollow, the extra resin can dry out. I started simply with Aves, but found that most of the time it just fell inside of the part. What I came up with next was to sharpen the end of a styrene rod add superglue and then jam it into the hole. Once the CA cured I cut the rest of the rod off and moved on to the next one.

It took a while to sand the rods down to where they disappeared into the part. The figure glued up fairly quickly and I hot it with some primer, which revealed more chicken skin. I'll get on that so check back for a possible finale next time.
