I had hoped that the guy would have been dressed/assembled today, sadly though a complete failure for any clothes to materialise have meant that this hasn’t happened.
I have however, completed my part of the group project though and spent a few hours last night (on top of the many hours construction time) finishing off the treacherous painting stage. He’s looking a bit pink now, although at one point he looked a lot more like salmon mousse than I had planned! Of course, such things are painted up in series of layers … something I’m prone to forgetting during the initial burst of enthusiasm required for me to get started … he’s also got a squint!?
So, it looks like I’ll be taking a trip to a charity shop tomorrow to see if I can get some appropriate clothes for this chap. I’d hoped to get hold of a John Lewis catalogue, but I think a prominent receipt sticking out of his pocket with the words, “MP’S Expenses” will need to suffice for my wee political dig this year … last year he was a banker!
