Thank you for such a warm welcome, chaps! The Galloping Major introduced me to this forum, -although I knew of it's existence- and he wasn't wrong about what a great bunch of people conversed on it. Thank you for the encouragement. It's good to share enthusiasms!
PS: The leggings were rendered by using liquid Green Stuff, which I've recently been experiementing with. So far, I've liked it. It's good for small jobs like this. I'm not sure how it would stand up for making masters, though.
