A Schoenhut boy

 

This carved hair Schoenhut boy has arrived to get his face improved upon.

He has had a few makeovers over the years as there is evidence of several layers of paint and topcoats on him.







You can see a strawberry blond hair colour under the dark brown. Maybe that was his original hair colour?







A UV light shows more details of his multiple makeovers.

So, I start removing the layers.....







This is what is left of his original paint.








A view from the back.








A bit of paint is needed to fill in the many open areas.
