I finally came up with a way to make donuts for this dio. I used Sculpey clay, rolled little balls, flattened them a bit and baked them in the oven, then drilled out the centers. Let me know what ya think. (Figure still being worked on)

Hi guys

The figure is Verlinden. Actually German Nurses but the best I could find. She was suppose to be holding a coffee pot, so just a small conversion with stretched sprue.

Those donuts turned out really good. I actually am tempted to go and get a box of chocolate covered ones.

Good job on the fig to!

John that is looking very good. Those Verlinden figures are the ones I have on order for the same purpose. I have given the outside of mine a coat and have Temp set it on the chassis (sorry no pics yet) to have a look. It is an awesome truck when viewed on the model bench.
