I wanted to show you this one for a couple of reasons. Firstly, you can just make out how I am working the wheel and post back. That narrows the chest, shoulders and tapers the bottom of the coat. I wanted you to notice the shoulders too.
Not as chunky now. See how I put the collar of his coat in?
Wrapped it right around the back too.
Think those legs are too long. Remember, the boot tops have to be half way up those legs.
I wanted to show you those boots. Remember that the toe of the boot is down inside the boat. It's a bugger to clean that out.
Here's how to do it. I leave the toes pointed up. Interesting appearance and less work.
I know I skipped a bit there but I wanted you to see the depth of the wheel, hands coming and how I layed out the face.
Once I got the face done with my dremmel, I started sanding like crazy. Sorry I forgot to take a pic of how I layed out the bottom of the boat. Just make sure that you leave a good bit of stump.
Stuff I added on:
Lantern- Held on with a peg but looks like a hook from the front.
Pipe- Hides some of the knot
Wheel handles- Screwed on
Sorry I was so long winded. Hope this step-by-step will encourage some of you to give it a try.
