MacBeth's Nightmare

[Ronaldo]

This is another one thats been kicking around on my bench for some thirty years or so.
If the truths to be known the paint has been on and off this guy more times than Rita Hayworth's Knickers.
Its on to stay this time.

Custom made the base by cutting an angle out and lining with garden bark and putty ,
the standing monolith is bark from an elm Burr .
a couple of points will always show on the picture which will be sorted .

I know Ron I read your post, that was a feeble attempt at humour on my part .

And there I was thinking I need to pull my finger out on some of my Shelf Of Shame dwellers (a mere 5 to 10 years in the brewing some of them).

Nice one Ron. I've been in the same boat myself (several times). How do you feel now it's done? I too have had stuff I'm not happy with and have ditched halfway through.
If you mojo isn't there, pack in and try something else. I'm glad you returned to him, he turned out very nice indeed.

Cheers . Like you say not all works but not many admit it
Even the great masters of the past had scores of unfinished and abandoned works .

Right now I am redoing a MM Grenadier of the Garde Franco Prussian war ,a very simple figure which has proved difficult for me
