No paint cans in or outside the yard, so thought i would continue with the legs at least, and try to find a body later, the head was going to be too heavy, and if i wanted to stay in proportion at least....it would need to be smaller! i didn't want anything bigger than 4ft! so back to the yard today..... i had gone off the skinny legs, i needed a body at least! then i could gauge the size of the rest of it. This turned up!  so i grabbed a few bits from the shed, and what i found under a pile of rubbish, including the last few letters from the Atlas doormobile i had along with the Leyland 15 bread van!  |

then really needed to get the legs done, so after more rummaging through junk & curse word...... the scuttle panel from a Dodge Scamp, a Clarke welder, a homemade gauge pod from a 105e, the LAS from the Atlas, an old bread bin lid, a few nuts and bolts, a bean tin secured inside holding some wire, pliers and to the back i  fixed a trowel of sorts. |
