Template 

 

Tips

*Billy Lee is supposed to have brown hair but because it was NES he had orange hair. Choose whichever color you want. I did brown in the beginning and changed it to orange at the end.
*There are lots of options for Skin so choose whatever looks best to you. For the skin you can use Sand and shade with Oak or Birch Planks. Or you can use just Sand and no Shading at all. You can also do Birch Planks and shade with Oak Planks.
*The boots are like the skin you can do lots of different combinations. I ended up doing Spruce Planks for the lighter color, and Oak Wood for the darker color. Doing one solid color looks good too. Try just Oak or Spruce Wood or just Oak or Spruce Planks. You could try lighter color boots too. There are lots of possibilities, try mixing and matching to get something you like.
*Watch video to see different color combinations.
*To make Jimmy Lee simply change the hair to Yellow Wool or Gold, and replace all Blue Wool with Red Wool and all Light Blue Wool with Pink Wool.
*Save Often
