This was a new character to me, so I blindly said yes I could make him before seeing what he looked like.

His head was a nightmare to make. everything relied on two raisin twists  :o

The boy whose birthday it was loved it, and his parents sent me these photos. Not sure how he stood up to the sword fighting though :)
Kind regards

Nice bit of distortion on the face Kevin, did you have a few 5" inside or just double stuffed 11" with raisins in between?

Thanks Graham,

Yes, I made his nose first, using a technique from Thelma, and then double stuffed, with raisins each side, to attach hair, helmet, visor and ears.
Kind regards
