      Thanks Paul, their limbs will come apart if they're not careful. :smiling2:

        Of course, don't you?
        But I've stopped doing the backflips after I turned 60, and I don't spin on my head any more in case I enlarge the bald patch

            Sure, but the bald patch reduces friction so you can spin much further and faster…..

                  Truly excellent work Richard. It isn't simply the detail, nor the craftsmanship (of which there is plenty) but the fact that the whole ensemble tells a compelling story is really excellent.

                    Once I get down I normally stay down and forget about the spin.

                    Thanks Paul, half the fun is creating the scenario and poses. Most importantly eye direction.

                      Don't know why I used thinner foil for my weapons sling straps...so flimsy and kept breaking at the buckles so I'm re-doing them with my regular Ikea salmon paste tube foil.

                      Cheers,
                      Wabble

                          Those appear to be of the proper "scale" :nerd: thickness and should do nicely once painted up......mind the sling counters Richard, they might not agree with my observations!
