I have started the reindeer already. have the stand done and most of the head the antlers look really hard to follow so i may just do the rest and leave the antler till i am nearly finished are just make them what ever way who ever heard of a reindeer with perfect antlers anyway

Well I have started and thought you know what post a few pics of the build so far. This reindeer is cute well that is what someone waiting for santa has said on seeing the photo so far.

Great start here, should look great when completed

more of an update, I say this the sun out was nice today and did help when the electricity got cut off for about an hour thank goodness the sun was out but it was freezing non the less. The glue seems not to like the low tempatures at all so minus three celcius is not to nice with durabond super ten is one thing and the paper is chilly so maybe that is the problem cold card and cold glue don't seem to like each other.

Minus four now and well i think i will put the heater on and get working again on the model. I think this is going well i reckon today before nightfall the reindeer shall be done. I know one thing I am not heading to Lidl to buy that sat dish and install it in my friends house I am not that NUTS.

This is coming together nicely I know what you mean about the cold weather and the way it affects glue - if you are like me, you are finding it very hard to keep up with gas and electricity top up's.... it's a pain in the butt - the suppliers put the prices up at a time when everyone is using more - Fat cats get FATTER, something really needs to be done about that Hope you manage to keep warm, it seems colder than ever today.
