Dolls but not my usual kind...

This is the little project I mentioned a few months ago, which I finished just after Christmas and for some reason, haven't posted.

It's a set of Top Gear peg dolls. I wanted to make something like that but couldn't figure out what to use as a base for it. I have no idea what inspired peg dolls but they worked out pretty well. The clothes are made from scraps and my grandmother's old ragbag appeared right at the crucial moment, as everything except Jeremy's jacket and James's shirt is made from it.

The biggest problem was Top Gear Dog because clearly she had to be made and equally clearly, she's the wrong shape to be made from a peg, so she's made from white pipecleaners which are at least nice and fluffy, but she doesn't stand up terribly well. That's fine, the real thing spends most of her time lying down anyway.

( beware - lots of pictures! )

Never having been one for action figures, I've discovered it's quite good fun having these little guys nearby :)
