Proof of work baby! All salty sea dogs and all slightly different. Learnt a lot, with improvements made from piece to piece, some I'm happier with the legs, others I'm happier with the face. Unfortunately I can't smash them altogether to create the ultimate version! The lightest one still needs piling and sanding.
What do you think?
