Hi Peter
That brings back memories from my childhood. I had no idea that figures of the characters were available. Great start on Noggin. They say that the illustrations in the books were inspired by the Lewis Chessmen.

Can remember that being on TV - wondering if they'll do Ivor the Engine?

 

[Peter Gillson]

I also remember Ivor, but not a patch on Noggin

Sorry for the poor photo but I have finished Noggin's son, Knut, as well as a little wooden base to pit the figures on:

Hi Peter
Excellent. Between your painting and the sculptor's skills you have got them spot on.

Hi guys

I'm back in Guernsey after a week in the UK - very strange having to wear a mask etc. Something we are not used to, but because of a recent decision to allow all double vaccinated people from the Common Travel Area in without any test nor quarantine, I expect Covid will become endemic in Guernsey so masks may well be needed.

Anyway onto happier things, an update on noggin. I have finished his wife and his trusty adviser Graculus:



Not sure who next, possibly Thor Nogson.
