Not that I worked on it the whole time, mind you. Rather, I started it the last weekend of March, 2020, then got stuck and stalled out on it.\u00a0 It sat in a closet, at about 80% done, for a long while. Then &#8230; well, here we are: early June, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the protracted build, I approached this kit with a clear vision and real optimism. I knew right off that I was going to make my Frantics bandmembers neo-punk.<\/p>\n<p>During the early aughts, I lived in a small, hippie\/tourist town in the Pacific Northwest. Downtown, near where I worked, there was this funky, little, non-profit, social-service oriented coffee shop and live venue that doubled as a high school misfit and teen-drifter hangout. Some of the most colorful characters passed through its doors. This place and its ever-changing flow of music and coffee loving denizens was a major inspiration for my version of the Frantics model kit.<\/p>\n<h2>Lofty Ideas, Tough Lessons, &amp; Surprise Solutions<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wiredGuitar.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-15305\" src=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wiredGuitar.jpg\" alt=\"failed guitar strings\" width=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wiredGuitar.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wiredGuitar-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wiredGuitar-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wiredGuitar-150x90.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>Planned kit mods included long hair for both figures, metal jewelry and accessories, stringed instruments, and wires for the stage electronics. Some of these plans fell through rather quickly. Most notably stringing the instruments. There are successful examples of this online but, for the life of me, I couldn&#8217;t get it right and worried I &#8216;d ruin the instruments in the process. It was very disappointing. What a nightmare. Fuggedaboutit.<\/p>\n<p>I also dropped the idea of fabricating power cords and electrical outlets for the amplifier and drum machine. Sometimes simpler is betterer!<\/p>\n<p>Next, I encountered seemingly endless difficulties with the hair.<\/p>\n<p>While craft fur was difficult enough to work into spikes for the guitarist, it proved impossible for the what I envisioned for my banjoist: the greased curtain look of the Nirvana-period Dave Grohl. After trying and failing this look with craft-fur, I gave doll hair a shot. I watched a ton of videos on the process and even bought some Russian doll hair &#8230; which was utter shite for my purposes.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, the air fully left my sails. I carefully put the unfinished model parts back in the box and stuck it in the closet.<\/p>\n<p>Zoom forward around 18 months and here&#8217;s my ever-amazing wife handing me a hank of pre-cut embroidery floss: &#8220;do you think this make good hair for one of your models?&#8221;<br \/>\nHuzzah! Genius!<\/p>\n<p>The floss was cheap cheap cheap, readily available IN TOWN, and easy to work with. I love the look and style-ability of it. I can&#8217;t wait to use it on another project someday &#8211; and better.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hairTries.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-15304\" src=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hairTries.jpg\" alt=\"Frantics model hair attempts\" width=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hairTries.jpg 1406w, https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hairTries-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hairTries-1024x437.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hairTries-768x328.jpg 768w, https:\/\/coreyshead.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hairTries-150x64.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1406px) 100vw, 1406px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Modifications to the Frantics Model Kit<\/h2>\n<p>Though I did pre-plan lots of the kit modifications I made, as many also occurred to me along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Modifications\/additions include: lapel buttons, neck spikes, a big western belt buckle (that you&#8217;ll never see as it&#8217;s behind a banjo), &#8220;torn&#8221; and &#8220;worn&#8221; clothing, microphone cord, drum machine and speakers, guitar and banjo straps (real Naugahyde!), a hand-written set list, and even a punk\/metal back patch.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of this latter:<br \/>\n&#8220;The Chittering Marmots&#8221; seemed a fun name, so I built up the logo in photoshop, combining the image of a ground rodent with a switchblade.
