My mind told me there was nothing wrong with this figure and I toyed with the idea of adding pinstripes , but every time I glanced at his shelf something looked awry. Get a grip, I thought, once they,re varnished you d,ont touch them again - that,s the rule - what,s happened to your iron will ? Collapse of stout party . You see I,d initially pictured him as a Planter / River boat gambler / Southern Gentleman / Peter Bowles type - some cove who might be found hanging a souk in Cairo or Baghdad .But here he was in a suit Trigger might have been proud of. Oh the shame of it , it,s no good, something has to be done .............
