Well, I tried some spray-on primer which helped to negate some of the wood grain in the head. Then Did a couple of coats of blue. Pretty satisfied with the results.

As I said, I liked Paul's idea of putting "eyes" inside the head of Treadwell. I had a couple of old flashlights so I took the bulbs out and mounted them inside with a couple of layers of balsa wood and glue.

I made a boo boo, though. I attached the eye covers without painting the interior of the head or the balsa wood black.
I really don't feel like taking these damn eyes off after putting them on but perhaps in the future I'll fix it. For now, I'm satisfied with the look for the most part.
