Oh thank you Daddio, Ed.... I appreciate your comments. The "old look" is what I intended for my santa pieces and for the jack in the box pieces too, for that matter. I'm glad you think I have succeeded.
Thank you.

Thank you Bill, Sean,....the beards are like the icing on the Oreo cookies... Roughing out is no fun at all, can't wait to be done with it. The details...especially the beards, are soooo much fun.
