A WIP but decided to make a pipe instead of the normal cigarette. Excuse the bit of blue tac, but do you think the pipe looks right or should be slightly larger?

Excellent start and I like the idea of the pipe. Here is my two cents on the pipe. The bowl looks good to me, but if you change the stem shorten it.

A good idea, keep it.

Hi Geraint

Good to have you posting and a nice piece as well ....like the fleshwork on this

As for the pipe I would agree with C/sgt comments possibly shape the stem as well

Thanks for sharing

Like the five o’clock shadow, Geraint. How’d you do it - pastels?

Thanks Chris, no just thinned black oil paint put on in very small amounts and blended with a flat brush. Some say you should use blue, but this seemed to work!

Thanks for the replies, I made it out of a wooden cocktail stick for the stem and a slightly larger bit of wood for the bowl and whittled down! But, I also had a stupidity spasm, and realised I do have Milliput so may try that.
