Good Afternoon, Getting ever closer to a conclusion on this, so my mind turned to a base for him. Now, in case no one has noticed, bases are not a strong point with me. So, looking for inspiration in the pose I thought along the lines of "King of the Castle". Rocky outcrop etc. So a visit to local garden center and a piece of stone for 50 pence. Question is - what do you think?  More soon. Tim |

I like it, but I'd put it on a wooden plynth. The figure is awesome  I mean I'd put the stone over a plynth. |

Good morning, Thanks for the comments. Rock on plinth it will be. Only thing is I think I will have to split the stone because of a height issue. I can split it along its length so should be ok. If not then buy some more but on a plinth it will be. That is for the future, for now though I am calling this finished, so a few pics of the end product before mounting     and  Will run of a few more once I have him placed on his rock. Tim |

Good Afternoon, ChrisB, DickyF, Paul P, Wbill & Robbo. Thanks for looking in and glad you like. Managed to split the stone and also found a plinth, base. So with a little more work still to do, this is how it looks at present. The question of course being - is this what everyone who commented envisaged?  More once finished - unless of course.......

Leon, Thanks for that. Certainly pleased with it as a figure, just never sure about the presentation. Must be my inherent lack of imagination \ theater Tim |

Good Afternoon, Finally got this one finished. Stone stuck to base, figure pinned to base and then the sun came out! So a few outside pictures taken, so a last look of how he is now....    At last - in the cabinet! Tim |

Agreed! Well done Tim. He'll fit in my cabinet too if you wind up a bit tight for space!  |
