Thanks you two.

I've kept the original head, but I don't think I'm ever going to use it.

it might make a convincing Joker with the Heath Ledger make up

Yes, it.s not far off. I've seen it painted and it still looks odd, but I may give it a go.

Morning Peter
Great work on the bookends, super leather work, it really makes the pair look the part.
The little nuggets of colour studded in the jackets are so good.
The knights crosses and ribbons, and the zips.
Well done.
You could always do an off forum "just to try it" paint job on the original head as the Joker, just to see what happens.
I do know you're not a SiFi fan, but it could be an interesting experiment in colour?
What next? Another 1:16 figure?
Just heard on the news we have been locked down again!!!
No change there for us!
Have a good socially distanced and safe day and weekend with the mini heatwave and new victim
Regards

Morning Steve. Glad that you like these two. I'm quite pleased with the way they turned out, especially the second. I may well have a go at the rejected head - I found a helmet yesterday that kind of fits.

So, lock down up North. I must say I think it was inevitable. This thing hasn't gone away and I think the Government's outlook was that as long as the NHS wasn't overwhelmed, people could carry on dying. Strange situation here where you can visit the pub, but not your GP, as my daughter found out - weird priorities.

I may start on a 1/18 figure next, though I think bench time will be limited by the mini heatwave.
