Careful, how small you make those ankles and shin bones. Start out larger and pare it down or he will need crutches.. He looks Dynamite though, can't wait to see him. I use that Deft lacquer too and it is a great finish. If you want a nice sealer that is quick drying and easily sanded, try using plain old shellack. they make some that is pretty clear and you can build up 3 or four coats in an hour and have a beautiful finish with it in no time. After it dries thoroughly (couple hours), then go with a couple coats of the deft for a glass smoothe finish. Another product that is sikilar is called "SprayLac" and is a sealer/sanding sealer for use before the final finish is applied. use lacquer, varnish or urethane for the final coats.
