Agree donkey's head does look on the big side but group coming along well. What was Simpson's donkey called? Was it Murphy or Duffy?

I'm sure you'll deal with the donkey's head in due time.
You're an amazing sculptor - I'm still in awe of the USMC stretcher team - I hope my painting can do your sculpting justice.

Happy New Year!
Jim

Great stuff, Andy! I agree it's just the size of the donkey's head, not the whole anatomy.

All the best,
Dan

Thanks guys,
The thing is that Indian donkeys were used and they are a little smaller that Bethleham Donkeys,hence the rework.

Hi Andy,

I know nothing about donkeys apart from divorcing 2 ex wives which are the same !!........but what I do know I'd that you have an amazing talent in capturing the moment on all your work , the soldier as he is at war ...great stuff...

This will be another fine addition

Thanks for sharing

Happy new year. Looking great mate, can't give any advice on the donkey,looks good to me. I love the whole scene and agree that you manage to capture 'that' moment in time with your sculpts. Keep it up and I'm looking forward to catching up and seeing it in the flesh so to speak.

Thanks Chris,
Hope you had a Happy New year.
Cheers
