Painting the "dude"

 

The Bond Bug driver figure is a pretty good model. Not everyone agrees, and alternatives have popped up on eBay, along with new wheels that operate under the "3D printing good, plastic bad" theory. 

Hanging on the figure seems the trickiest job, so for the skin tones, I sat him on a cushion of Blu Tack in a paint pot. 

For the rest, I l took advatage of a big slot in his back to insert a ScaleModelScenery Professional Folding & Scoring Tool, although a cocktail stick would have worked as well, I just happened to have this handy. 

The downside of close-up photos, is you can see I really need to redo the wonky eyes...
