Yes Gman, its time!!

'El Chainsaw-Mouth', Hewey?
Cheers Benz. Id like to carve more of them as I know theyd get easier after a few (a few attempts that is, not drinks. although...)
Kings:the Moai is just over 3 3/4inches tall, pretty big work for me, haha!

Here you go Gman. Hope you like him! (Just under 2inches high)

C'mon mate, turn around... (shame about that flaw but it is only on the back & aesthetic only)

A bit more...

There he is! I took the liberty of changing the eyes we discussed G. The plain green/blue were just a bit ho-hum for this guy, needed something 'sharper'* to match the chainsaw mouth... (just noticed a fish-symbol in the head too - spooky...)

And all lit up! (you can see coulour of paua better in this pic)

*And speaking of sharp eyes; one of the buggers bit me spinning @ 40,000rpm - ouch!!

Made plaiting the cords a laugh -a typing this too!!
Still need to sort the length on this, dont think we nailed it down ..?

Let me know what you think Gman.

Cheers everyone! Tama
