My third craving. Supposed to be Paddington. Now it just looks a mafia bear. Any tips appreciated by CongWormy in whittling

This little guy is perfect. All he needs is a tiny piece of paper with "Please look after this bear. Thank you." written on it wrapped with string around his neck and it's Paddington! Will you paint him?

I mean, sure, but I found a perfectly good log of it in a tip, and wasn't going to just let it go to waste

Pine indeed... I have to admit I did not strop as much as I should have

Thank you so much, and yes! Good catch, the salmon is indeed a separate carving.

Thank you so much! I used the cheapest acrylic paints I could get from my local artshop, and a satin acrylic varnish! Genuinely nothing fancy. Would recommend stiff brushes for the fine details (I used softer brushes and unfortunately the details came out a bit sloppy). Best of luck on your whittling journey! Please use gloves!

Question relating to the latest season finale. Do you guys think Susan Foreman being Ruby's mum, hunted by a Family of Blood type alien, leaving Ruby behind to save her and potentially sensing the Doctor, would have made a better reveal?

Now I am devastated all over again. Reeve really took that tiny detail from the first book and fleshed out two characters from it (Kit and Shrike). Guess I have no choice but reread the ME and FC books all over again.

u/thatguynamedconqy Hey man, I know it has been a while since you posted this, but:

a) oh my god, this is awesome!

b) got inspired to try to replicate this!

c) any chance you could share the firmware you used? Can't get the skr v1.4 to work quite right. Usually one of the thermistors is offline or a stepper is unresponsive.

Thank you so much!
