Cheers guys! I'm nearly finished this, the only thing I'm still struggling with is I've been asked by a couple of people to do controls, as if its some sort of fantasy walker, but I can't seem to come up with a decent design!! :-[ It has to be something to fit in the chest space! I was thinking of some sort of balcony with a control panel?







I've still to add wee bits to the 'Green Man' head.

The faces are great but something is not right with the arms, they look a bit short.

For controls it would be neat to have a replacement hand holding a miniature version of the wickerman, along the lines of a voodo doll. Even better if it was on a robed cultist wearing a mask to match the green man face :)

Many pages ago you put a picture of a base you were making... Any chance of a peek at the model on that?

It is a lovely rendition of a wicker man.   :-*
Smile!  It's not that bad!

I don't know if I can change that at such a late stage Colin! The tops of the arms are a moulded fit at the arm pit area, if I put an extended section in there, the insides of the arm will look funny! :-[

The more I thought about the base the more I didn't like it. If it was cast it would be a BIG heavy chunk of resin!

Thanks for all the helpful comments guys!!

How long before we can buy a casting? This would be perfect for my current project.
