Excellent! Just excellent! Did you paint the moustache? Or used a permanent marker? Or tape?

Glasses (the playmobil-printed ones are silverish and not the necessary black), moustache with beard, and the collar are drawn with a black Artline-marker with fineness 0.1.
For the tie I used an Artline 700N-marker.

Hat (with some small cuts around the edge to make it look worn) and (shortened) coat are spraypainted with Motip Alkydlacker (leafgreen, highgloss), and then got a coating with Motip transparent lacker (varnish), also Alkyd-based, but matt (dim?) to undo the highgloss-look.

Great custom work, Erwin.  You obviously have a very neat and steady hand with an Artline-marker.   :wave:
