Jeep Anniversary Cake

Thanks Sandra.  Really struggle with the faces but I think I'm improving.  At least I would like to think so.  Most of the time, I end up throwing out the first face and doing a new one.  lol

Oh man, and I had not even yet seen the people!  Great job.

Thanks Mandy.  It is not easy especially when you eyesight isn't the best.  I need to go in for a stronger prescription.  Everything looks fine until you see it enlarged in a photo.

excellent job, not easy making a vehicles this small 

it does make sense Goreti, yes thanks.  You did such a neat job, no splitting or cracking.

Katy, don't mind sharing at all.   I worked in sections.  I pleated just like you would do fabric or paper and left one end without a pleat & a little long so that when I attached the next section you wouldn't notice.  Kept doing that until it went all around.  Then just added a little piece at the waist to look like the waistband & hide the top of the pleats.  Hope this makes sense.

So she should have been Goreti.  I've just viewed the pic full size and zoomed in on the figures.  I mean, for goodness sake, you have ruffles on her blouse, boobs, PLEATED skirt.  She's amazing.  By the way - mind sharing how you did those pleats?

Thanks June, Betty & Katy.  @Betty, coconut is not my favorite but my hubby loves it.  My niece wanted the same thing but I actually used different recipes.  She said it was delicious.

@Katy, still practicing on figures.  I think this is one of the best faces (mind you I had to restart it more than one). Still doesn't look like them which is what I was going for but overall not bad.  She was in awe because I made a blouse that looks like the one she was wearing when she came to see the Jeep on Saturday.
