Good call.

Slowly been chipping away and have now got his arms attached (at last);

Painted up his large 'back pack';

Blue tacked in place;

So i can now get on with highlights and shadows on his jacket


Added some straw to his arms and a bit of corn to his head

Hi Steve

Good to see this with arms now as you say your chipping away at it , certainly a lot of detaiks to deal with

Great touch adding the straw , brings the fellow alive more

Thanks for the updates as always look forward to more

Happy benchtime

Good shout!
Luckily i ordered another base for a different figure, but it was to small, bit big enough for these two chaps, so was meant to be. Christmas Magic
