I showed the above picture to my wife and she thought it looked like a Minion. That got the gears turning. When I told my coworker/helper this, he came up with the idea to have smoking hair. Well, after that idea, I was sold!
We worked on the doors for a while:
Then it was on to the hair:
First fire (complete with "eyes") to burn the paint off, really should have done that sooner, it was THICK paint:
Cleaned up, ready for paint (complete with arms!):
Base coat of white/gray with hair and hands already coated black and covered:
yellow and blue painted, taping off the coverall shoulder straps:
Tape removed:
Getting ready to season the smoker (oiled CC with a misto and olive oil, let that burn in for an hour or so then added bacon!):
FIRE:
First cook (2 Boston Butts and a Fatty):
Something is missing... the face:
