That's a great result Scott - still can't believe all the work and techniques that have gone into pulling this together!

Really well done :thumb1:

And yes - I seem to hear THAT song on the radio on a daily basis now :)
Cheers, Neil

You put the lyrics on the base! Ahhhhhhhh! Tina in mah head!

This is awesome, from the recreation to the burns to the dog hair spears. Well done, raggedy man.

:jd: what can i say Scott ..... im gobsmacked.

Its art, truely.... the whole thing coming together the way it has is astounding. I love the the Lyrics around the base but thats only a small part of what makes it whole.
The lengths you have gone to, the sometimes radical techniques (dog hair ?????) and general good humour with which you have faced adversity.

Congratulations :clap: :dance: :clap:

Thank you so much to all that have commented and had a look at this monstrosity
This was a great sig with lots of cool builds and great interactions with members


It seems I have this weird push to duplicate movie scenes for some reason and this movie had vidid impressions on me and my childhood so was an easy choice. Lots I could have done better and I wish I was a week earlier so I could mull over photos and do some touch up paintwork on the sand but actually pretty happy with it. Honestly the scratch work was very simplistic and something anyone could do.
:cheers2: to all of you guys

I re-populated as many photos for this reveal and its build thread as I could find

Coco Pup's whisker lives on in the spear of the figure even if she is gone

The saddest thing is going through a thread and seeing all the active members we have lost. Just gone like the wind
These were really good friends and I just don't understand how social media platforms are any more attractive....you can NEVER find anything :bash:
The forum is a reference for me, my work and other's work. It takes a bit of searching but it is all indexed there and easily found
So sad to see this platform dying

Alias it is only too true and I miss some of the old members too. It's a bit perplexing that often there might be a lot of views on a posting , but no comments. Is there a lack of confidence to interact here , but facebook is or can more unanimous ?
:( :(
:cheers2:
Listen and appear wise
