Scooby-Dooby...Dum?

You may recall the Scooby-Doo themed models I built last week and how I was lamenting the lack of a challenge in the two builds.

There was one challenge that I put on myself.  The bi-plane model came with a Scooby-Doo snap-together figure that was wearing an old-timee flight helmet and the Mystery Machine came with a plain old Scooby-Doo figure.  I decided that flight helmet Scooby would be my Scooby and that the plain Scooby figure would be remodelled as Scooby's dim cousin, Scooby-Dum.

I wasn't 100% sure I could pull it off.  Sculpting is always a bit hit and miss and it's been a while since I tried anything like this, so I warned you I might not pull it off.

Ta-da!

The figure comes like this.

A little grey spray.
 
I used epoxy putty to model a saggy right cheek, a couple of snaggle teeth and a little pork-pie hat.  All in all it was a fairly simple mod.  I didn't even need to sand or smooth the putty.  It just went pretty smooth, start to finish.

Dum!

I think he came out rather well.  I hope you agree!
