I've been flocking Joes for the couple of years and I just just discovered this board, it's awesome, thank you! I experimented a lot with this, created my own machine with tons of trial and error, but ended up creating something that's robust and I'm happy with.
My approach is a little different as I have been looking for ways modernize the sculpts somehow and give them a more "now" look by not only re-flocking with my machine but giving them real hair using rabbit and mink fur that matches the flocking. I've used vintage mink as well from old fur trims I found that were about to land in the garbage. My land adventurer actually have mink for hair... I look how realistif and different this looks! I also have glass eyes in the correct 6mm format for sale if anyone need to replace damaged Eagle eyes, I will post pictures of these tomorrow the result is really cool!
I hope you enjoy him, I'm working on the entire right now, I'm just missing the Man of Action, the Astronaut and the AA guy. My three bearded guys are done as well as several others.
I hope you'll like this preview!! I'll post of my work with this method in the next few days, I also have an aged adventure and Black Dragon done way amongst others. It's a very technique I find, breaths new life into old sculpts, hides a lot of scalp problems on the vintage Eagle Eyes heads.
