Being away on holiday, I don’t have access to the bench, but I brought some paints and brushes… and the crew figures. Not quite finished but nearly there:

Any resemblance to Barbie and Kens is entirely uncoincidental.

Well, you can tell it isn't Barbie, otherwise she'd be wearing pink....

Boy, they don't look as if they're having much fun. Sand in all the wrong places...?

Well, there are no seat belts in the Buggy, so they’re probably hanging on like grim death…

The fella on the right looks like an escapee from Scooby Doo!
Very nice painting of the figures 👍

Thanks, all! I'm calling these two done. If you want to see them in the flesh, so to speak, pop along to the CBK SIG Table at SMW...
