Wanted Dan Gurney... Got Rondo Hattan!... [PIC]

My friend sent me an unpainted resin kit 1/18 kit of Dan Gurney and when assembling, you position the limbs as though he's leaving the cockpit of a Daytona coupe. As far as a resemblance goes, you never really know what you've got until you paint. The mildly translucent quality of the resin doesn't help. I took one of my Exoto Daytonas to help the assembly and I got this painting aid from my friend:

 Before I affixed the head, I slapped some paint on it and I knew I was in trouble.

 It looked HIDEOUS!!! A lot of times with judicious usage of highlights and shadows you can massage a good resemblance with paint. Here's the best I could do:

 I definitely saw the resemblance, but it was of '30s to early '40s actor Rondo Hattan whose features were a result of acromegaly. He played mostly murderous psychopaths like "The Creeper".

Well, anyway, here's some pics of the Daytona to take your mind from that frightening visage. As to the gurney model kit, I highly DON'T recommend it.
