I will be painting it today, if I have time...

Looking good so far, can't wait to see the final sculpture and paint job.

Blue or gray gnu?

It's white. Just kidding. Can't wait to see it painted.

Thanks Phil, WH and Amy. I couldn't paint it today in the end, ran out of time, so I will do it tomorrow now. It will be the same colour as the Schleich one, so that they match.

Good luck with the paintwork, Harriet. I'm sure it will turn out to be another gem, as all your previous ones!

Thank you Gabe.

The pipe cleaners I ordered arrived today, so you may be seeing some models standing now too

Great!

And with the Schleich one.

I carved a little off the horns as I thought they were too thick at the ends.

The 4th picture is my favorite. The eye is so expressive. Great job.

How did I miss this ?!

He/she is gorgeous Harriet ! And fits so well with the Schleich model

Thanks Amy and Rio! Glad you liked him, I think it should be a him, as the Schleich one is a female I think.
