Very nice bit of converting Brian.

The bust was very nice to start with; and now it is totally in context.

Very well done.



Cheers,

Andrew

Thank you Andrew,i'm glad I went for the right arm now

 

[smudger1960]

Thats what I'm talking about, the addition of the arm makes it complete. Wish it were part of the kit. Well Done!

Many thanks Jason,glad you like it

Scotty.

Hi Scotty,i used 30 amp fuse wire,its the right thickness and bends very well

 

[smudger1960]

[smudger1960]

[smudger1960]

Good to catch up with you last Saturday Brian. You excel at adding these features. To your models mate I sense another smudger masterpiece in the offing. Will be following with interest.



Keith

many thanks keith,good to see you last sat,i enjoyed our little chat,glad you liked it mate,see you in Folkestone

 

[smudger1960]

Very well done. Apparently in real life, Hook was an upstanding character, not the rascal as shown in the film.



Mike

many thanks mike for your coments,thats why I titled the subject James Booth mike,the real Henry hook was nothing like james booth's character as you correctly stated.

 

[smudger1960]

Nice one Brian, looks good...I'm in the middle of doing the very same thing myself

Cheers

Jim

Brian, Great composition and upgrade of the kit - he looks just right now. If I remember right this photo is from the last scene of the movie when Richard Burton is narrating all the VC winners. It's all classic stuff but I love that bit especially.

Does the hand and spear come with the kit then but not the arm?

Cheers

Mat

hi mat,the bust comes with the spear,and the hand with part of the cuff,however I didn't really like that concept,so I added one from my spares box

 

[smudger1960]

The conversion of the arm looks great, I might just watch the movie again this weekend!



John

many thanks john,glad you like it mate,the movie is still one of my top 10 favourites

Hi, I am glad that I had such an inspiration to you. My plan was the same, but he was not suited to the concept in a series of busts in MMM.
But is it right for you that you are taking the original concept.
This is a very successful job. Congratulations and thank you for some was intended for your work.
