Would anybody be opposed if John could finish this by the start date of November 1 and put it in the photo album dedicated to Simons memory I think it would be like Simon watching us poatng our finished build pictures.

Great idea Lee.

After another 8 hour painting day I got the face nearly done. I will probably continue to play around with this. I used a new technique (for me) on the eyes. I painted them fairly flat then applied a blob of UV glue over the top to provide the highlight. I think this works fairly well.



Last round of golf today for the season so back to the bench at the weekend.
