Default Re: Santa Chess Set

here is a some pictures of Mrs.Claus I roughed out. Not sure I am completly satisfied with her we will have to see what she looks like painted up. My wife thinks I am a typical man she thinks she has too much boobage. Opinions are very welcome at any time.

I think I have to agree with your wife, While Mrs clause may be matronly yours looks like she could be working at Hooters. Perhaps less cleavage as well as having her less well endowed would be better. Think of how your grandma looked when she was in the kitchen fixing supper.

Yes you heard it here...she is a little busty! I think you could have got away with it Colin if you didn't give her the deep cleavage as Don said. Try adding a little wood filler and I think you might be alright...as her hind quarters matches the front. All things considered, you did a fine job of carving her.

I remember you telling me about this project. I'm glad to hear you started on it just be careful. I don't want you to try and carve like me on this one. Keep me posted buddy.
