okay...this is not my best work...but I was playing the other day to see if I could make a bike/scooter out of 1-321 and 1-260. Here's what it looked like.

Hi,

I have a Bob the Builder balloon to do next month, so as Sunday was a quiet day, till the evening when I was out to play at a friends retirement party, I was playing around to get the head/hat combination right. A normal lootle head didn't seem to look right.

This is how he ended up. I was quite pleased with the result :D

That is excellent, how about 160's for the top of the dungarees?

Hi Graham,

You're right, it should be dungarees, not trousers with braces, but I'm struggling a bit to keep it simple looking.

Having another go after lunch, and will let you know how it goes :D

That's a great sculpture Kevin! Fantastic artwork on the shirt :-) I love it.

For sake of easiness, can you make the dungarees, and instead of using 160s for the suspenders...couldn't you just stretch the 260s out a bit (to make them thinner) before you wrap them over the arms? Just a thought.

I'd leave the model as is and either stretch as Toya says or just use a 160 over the shoulder, please don't redesign as it's great as is.

Thanks for all your help.

I had already got to work on him before I read your imput. He turned out ok, but his legs seemed too thin, so I cut them off, and replaced them with 360's

This is the result !

Hi Kevin,

This is a really old bob that I made and I used the 260 and streched it over the shirt.

I also made another bob in the photo section.

Your bob is very good.

Nice Job ;)
Kenny.
