LOL .....believe me it’s nearly happened .......

This is the details I did next ...

Started painting it .......then proceeded to catch the various areas ...no idea how ........

Will I end this all .....could be for the best .........

But NO !! ......so I resculpted ...now looks like this ...once dry will paint ..should be okay as I tacked ...carefully with a tiny touch of superglue ......shaking while doing so !



Whilst waiting for tge putty to entirely dry ...again ....MELCHY has reached the bench

Happy days

Just a bit of a but good news ........

Wow not seen a Marathon since those damned Snickers turned up and 3p as well. I reckon paint for the buttons too, sculpting that many that small would be difficult with consistency.
