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
