How could I FORGET! I even identified that one as a Tiki coming straight out of that batch in the photo in the BOT! Yup, he's got the clown make-up job, alright. Can you post a before and after here, Chris?

Ok, it took some hunting, but I think I've got most of the pictures now. The only "pre clown job" picture of it I've ever seen is from BOT, so I snapped a picture of it for here (hope that is ok Sven). As for the other pictures, most are from the Kon Tiki website (and which I believe were taken by our own CheekyHalf) and the one "in between" picture is borrowed from Critiki.
