I made another Father Christmas yesterday, the rim of the hat is wrong colour in second
picture so will change that later as with the Red rim he does not look very Santa like.

With the White trim for the hat. As I had been making the Grim Reaper I thought they looked funny together.

I made a different Santa head design, it ended up being rather on the larger side.

I added eyebrows to the first Santa but not sure I like them, still deciding.

I added legs and had to increase length of arms, lower body section is too thin.

I then changed belt and added twists on the 350 for his body trying to bulk him up a little.
It did not work.

I then wanted to tidy the hat up a little and tried two variations, the second one worked so much better.

I then changed the legs and boots, added 260's either side of his tummy to fatten him up.

I changed the edge of the coat form 260 to 350 for a bit more of a chunkier look.

I made the beard again as I had changed the mouth and whiskers a few times and the joints were showing a little.

I made a completely new Santa as I had an idea for the body and legs.
Then added the bell to the design.
