You're missing one of my favorites... "Be Big" Most of the film involves Stan trying to get his own small boots off of Ollie's feet... Oliver's annoyance with Stan and increasing temper is just too funny.

Also... I forget if you've put them in their night clothes yet.

Hmm, good points! I seem to remember leaving Be Big to you.... It is a great short, and I can still hear that doorbell ringing! The boots would be fairly easy, but those sweaters would be hard to find...

And night clothes...Ollie has them on in my "County Hospital" pics...where would I ever find a nightgown with a cap for Stan? Fun to think about. I saw a red long john on a website, but I've never seen nightgowns..have you?

I wish they would find this long lost film, "Hats Off"!

Here are some final pics of Stan and Ollis in the Great War after touch ups...I will be doing one more set of L & H with thoughts of then beginning to auction them off...

Ahh...

Stan and Ollie finally have a place to pack up their troubles...

By the way, the unending project may finally be ending. Bud and Lou are in New Jersey being painted by Steven Giunta. Here is a link to his thread:

Hey Jerry!

The wait is over...

Many thanks to Steven Giunta for his unmatchable paint work, to my eye, he is one of the best on this board. Of course a big thanks once again to Alex Lopez for the sculpts.

These figures still are unfinished, the jackets still need pockets and buttons.

Jim, they look great! I posted a message on your thread...I would love to see more close ups when you get a chance...

I just finished the costumes for Bud and Lou. I tried to get the look of them as close as I could to their costumes in the film. The tiny buttons on their jacket were a bit difficult to work with but I think I managed to do the boys justice.

I still plan on making a dio of McDougals House of Horrors in the future but the figures are completely done and this is the display for now.

Again, can't say it enough, I LOVE the detail....buttons, hats, apron stitching, paint detail, EVERYTHING! I knew this was worth the wait to see pics...you should be proud of your good work...go back and read your first post on this...pretty cool!

As per your suggestion, I did go back and read my first post.

It was like going back in time when these figures didn't have a snowballs chance in hell of getting made. It just goes to show you that you can accomplish anything with work and keeping your goal in sight.

Thank you, my friend, for all your kind words and encouragement!
