Just making some Panda's with the body I used for the Bee the other week and have just looked here to see where to post the Panda
and see that I have made a similar style body before for the design. I'ts now given me some other ideas to try as well  ;D

The head and body in the Panda's above were made from 350's. This one was from 260 for head and body and 160 arms and feet.
Made similar to the Bee design I made a few weeks back now, Both Panda's for the size difference.

I like the style of this one but possibly with no detailed hands but the thing that bugs me is the body
is slightly out of proportion.......... or put another way the head is to big for the body, he he.
Perhaps the body needs a double White or made from a 646 to keep the proportions correct...... maybe?

Still trying to find the perfect Panda, he was looking too Black in the body in the
first picture and the eyes were a little tricky to add easily.

Picture ten has a different way of connecting the eyes and we have less Black down the sides of the body.

The last of the Panda's, I have found the one I like after making a few variations.
I will film the one with the Green base.

I changed the way the back of the head sat on the Panda with adding a pinch twist and thought I'd see if it would
help and make things easier for fitting eyes at the front. I don't think it worked and looks
like he has a growth growing on his face, he he

So changed the construction on the head of the next one and this is the one I'm now going with  ;D
Everything sits together nicely so happy with this one and I jokingly sent it to a friend
and called it the ultimate Panda and they said I should keep the name ......mmmmm

I'm not so sure but it made me smile xx
