    Ok end of play for this weekend,

    And I may need to bring in some political correctness,not something I think I would be good at tho.

    See the problem is the plain is well getting on the larger size of life[emoji3064].



    It was the first ruff weight in, yes ,I might need to get creative with the cap iron, to reduce the weight issues and because I’m not sure the “ squareness” suits the rest of the “Body”
    Maybe ,I give it a cut and file here and there[emoji6].

    But ,bloody hell

    It’s getting up there in the weight division.
    Maybe we can have a heavy weight division for the metal heads, and a light weight for the little woodie people!.

    Cheers Matt.

    I believe the word you’re looking for here is “buxom” .

    Yes, square just won’t do for the likes of the Body.
    I think a lever cap modeled on the shape of a VW bonnet would be more befitting here.

    Definitely some nip and tuck - and a diet of salad wood.

    Or maybe you could model it like the grippy part of an animal, eg.

    I was thinking "Whats Matt done to the stair post ?" He's modelling them off the Body's knobs and protrusions

    Putting some booty on the newel post gives him something else to fondle when he leaves the shed

    I am thinking he put a raised front knob on his plane and decided to turn it into a walking stick for when he gets older [emoji12]

    I am undecided regarding Matt's front knob: I could have phrased that a little better on reflection, but you know what I mean. I rather like the timber and although well rounded seems to suit "The Body" those square buns (hmmm. that sounds a bit contradictory too) were very popular back in the day. The square is rounded off so not that angular. I can quite understand why Matt rejected Picko's suggestion outright (I didn't recognise the animal, but I am really hoping it wasn't a camel).

    The bun is so glossy. How did you finish it Matt?

    Paul
