The crease was easy. The creases where his cheeks meet up to his nose was the only real tough part.  The one on the right was the least damaged, so I repaired it first, then replicated and mirrored it on the opposite side. Touching up the angle and then removing the residual remnants and viola.

Glad you're happy with the final product.  Will work on the other one as time permits.

Thank You very much Handypandy...An excellent piece of work.
Restored it beautifully. I think the original was damaged with damp.
Best Regards....Ian

     " Nice to see one of the "Old School" making a guest appearance Tomkin  ;) ;D ;D"

   I'm painting my window frames so I needed a 20 minute break to interrupt the boredom.

      I've even bought myself some new brushes and a new paint scraper for the glass ::) ::) ::)

                                     ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

               Listen here gel!!!  I found the tin of paint, hiding in the dark recesses of the cupboard

   under the sink.  It took me 10 minutes to get the lid off with a pair of pliers. Unfortunately

     this destroyed the lid.  I now cover the tin with polythene held on with rubber bands.

     These rubber bands have been kindly donated by the local posties who drop them on the

      path. I gratefully pick them up, put them in the drawer, knowing that they will come in

        handy someday.  Now you've got me in trouble again for going off topic :P :P :P

                  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
