Here are my first three attempts at making my own figures:

These will be passengers for my open-air excursion cars, which are not yet built.
I'm not very happy with the paint job on these figures. On the lighter colors I had to put the paint on pretty thick, and some of the paints are too glossy. i was using some artist's acrylics, some "Apple Barrel" craft acrylics, and "Patio Paint" exterior acrylics -- basically whatever I had on hand. The Apple Barrel stuff is very flat, which I like, but I don't know yet how well it holds up to UV exposure.
I have some closeup shots of the individual figures here:

And here's a figure that I'm still working on:

No head or hands yet, but (hopefully!) when it's done it will look like me.
