Hi, Geoff
If the homemade cakes help create such excellent work, I would like to have some of those cakes.
However, I expect that it your skill and talent. Thanks for sharing the tips above.

Cracking on with this Geoff..all looking good so far, I love the scale of this bust, the detail looks good and just enough of a uniform, hope there's more to come in the range from Stu/Stormtroopers

Many thanks Jim I like them as well, I believe there will be three others, if I read Stu's posting correctly. I am certainly looking forward to the other ones.
