Yes it was heavy Nap.The only way to hold it was with an old paintbrush pushed into his arse and it knackered my hand while holding it.
Cheers.

Nice job Ralph, just seen this, missed it a month ago.

Funnily enough I'm currently assembling this figure ready to get it primed up. Trying to decide the best way to go about painting it. But your paintbrush-up-the-arse method sounds like it could work. I've ended up pinning the parrot to his right hand to paint in situ, I think it will be easier to paint it that way.

It's an old figure and the sculpting isn't quite up to today's standards, but it's still a nice piece.
