Life size right arm of Neil started
Dear all
So steady progress continues with the life size model as I now start Neil's right arm. It is roughly a mirror image to the left arm of Neil. So the usual start just a bit of care needed the the "ring" that forms the wrist end of the arm since the part is so thin So I needed to "stagger" the tabs on opposite sides otherwise the part would just rip So the ring is made and then joined to the previous part of the arm I immediately strengthen that section on the inside Then the rest of the forearm is added Regards Kevin

More on life-size Neil right arm
Dear all
So just a quick update on the right arm of Neil. In previous post had got to the elbow. I have now managed to do the bicep. It is made up of two rings. Here is the first ring and then the second ring The end of the arms is starting to feel not too far away now. Regards Kevin

I don't think mentally that I could handle a long-term project like this. I would have given it up or been distracted months ago. Congratulations on your perseverance, fortitude and skill

Life size right arm of Neil finished
Dear all
After a bit of a delay the final layer of strengthening was added to Neil's right arm I know it looks just like the previous photo in the previous post, but if you look closely you will see in one photo the strengthen strips are labeled with Roman letters and in the other photo they are Greek letters. The markings are for two reasons. First I have found marking the corners of the strips means you can tell where you have already glued some (which I found difficult to tell without markings). Secondly it convinces me I actually have done something! Regards Kevin
