Cheers Jim,
With your surname Mate you can do nothing else.
England never do well when Mr Steve Walsh is officiating. I think once he had tagged the the England scrum so many times it was game over.
Still chin up there's a couple of years until the World Cup.
Mmmm Mr Bourne is looking OK but I have a load of learning to do. I get a little more confidence every time I push the putty around but I have a long way to go.
That said I really enjoy it so it's not all doom and gloom.
All the best,
Keith

Shouldn't that have been Steve Welsh not Walsh...lol

Keep at it mate just as long as you keep on enjoying it, that's the main thing, you'll be amazed at how you'll improve with each sculpt you do, having said that I've still got a lot to learn but that's all part of the fun of it.
Cheers
Jim

Hi All,
I collected a parcel today from the sorting office, initially I thought it was a kit I bought. WOW what a huge surprise when Colour Sgt. Bourne was in the box. All I can say is the photo's do not do justice to the piece sculpted by Keith. A massive public thank you mate , to say I am happy is the biggest understatement I will make this this year.

I now own the only 1st edition Colour Sgt. Bourne in the world and what a privilege. No timescales or pressure as I want to do justice to this wonderful sculpt but watch this space in the future.
WOW


cheers and thank you again Keith for such a sublime piece.
cheers

It was a pleasure making it for you Richie.
I am pleased that you like it and now you have the reigns to turn it into a masterpiece of one sort or the other.
Thanks for the monkey tribute......that's all I did it for really.
Enjoy it Mate you are a decent bloke.

All the best,
Keith
