Re: Another New Santa

Once again Mark you have outdone yourself! Such a great display from the initial drawing to completing the roughout. I can't wait to see it finished and painted. Very nice smooth lines. Can't wait to see it in a few weeks in Charlotte!

Mark,
Have you done anymore on the Santa I am sitting with baited breath waiting to see the progress. I see you do all your work by hand that is wonderful. I too have a Fordom have had it for three years now and never used it.

I've never met a Santa I didn't like but this one looks very, very special.
If I had done him ~fat chance~ I'd be afraid to paint him.
