[Nap]

Hi Simon , Malc

Thanks for the best wishes ....didn’t get my parole so onwards we go ...lol

Not had much time to sit down at the bench except last night so a quick verbal update

Facialwork , hair and cap all completed, quite happy so far ....just the capbadge and buttons to do ...once done will post a pic

He has no eyebrows at present ...undecided where they should be placed with the peak

Stay tuned

Happy benchtime

Looks great Kev, I like how you've done the cap cover and a bit of colour in his cheeks.

Cheers Simon

Very nice Kev, even for a monkey he looks good, his brasses and Sam Browne will really enhance the look. As I'd never heard of this character till he appeared on the forums I have no idea on your next one. Unless there is no connection to this fella then I'd say King Arthur, cos the only other Arthur I can think of is Arthur Askey and I doubt he's lined up ready to.paint.

Cheers Simon

Cheers Simon ....we have a good looking monkey in Richie , not much left to do on “Big Arthur “
, as for the other ....a very tenuous link with the next project .........definitely not Royalty or Mr Askey though ...lol

Stay tuned

Hope your feeling better

You done a great job on this chap. That grin still creeps me out though...too many teeth, maybe.
Intrigued as to the next one ....

Liking the choice of the grey hair, Kev - unexpected but delightfully so!

Cheers,

Thanks Mel appreciate the time , the grin is certainly a tad creepy .....was glad the mouth wasn’t open more ...the teeth were enough !

Why not be “Nosey” regarding the next one......

Cheers Brian ....gave him gray hair as he has a long service ribbon ...wasn’t sure initially but like it now !

This has progressed really well. The face is fantastic and the uniform looks good, it's ready for those finishing details. Don't get too distracted by the other Arthur.....
