I'm trying hard to make a good copy. MaukaHale thank you. I've tweaked it over and over again and now I'm letting him dry. I think when his eyes are glazed it will look more like the original. Not seeing the white and black makes him look blank right now. hang10tiki I agree. Hamo Disney must have many artists because they are just a magical place. It feels really good to know they honored John's brother. =============================== Wish List #8. This project is finished being sculpted. It will now slowly dry in and out of a plastic bag so that it will not crack. All these steps took a couple of weeks. Looking at the photos makes it look like an hour. Tweaking takes a lot of additions and removals of bits of clay. Wow, I had no idea I had added so much clay as I worked to make it match the photo. I used a cutting tool and carefully removed all the excess so that it wouldn't crack. John do you want the pencil permanently attached or just glued in place? It's one thing if bumped could break once you own it. I hope it's ok. Cheers, Wendy
