The last guy looks cool too. I like how you handled the top. I am assuming that is rope? How did you do that and make it stay? [ Edited by: Grand Poobah 2016-01-09 04:09 ] Thanks Poobah, On the last guy I cut the rope into 1 1/2" pieces (it's the same rope you see around the neck and head). Then hot glued (black glue) each piece on. Once the glue cooled I untwisted the three strand twist giving it the look you see. Very simple to do. Give it a shot!
