OK, I can now make out the Gym boots. I guess what I took for wire must be the laces. Well, I will look at it tommorow.

Hi ants,
Yes I downloaded the pic from that link - brilliant idea, I have bookmarked that site for future reference!

Hi holly,
I'm working on the large file and have to stop now, but I thought I'd post what I'd done so far.  There is a long way to go before it's finished!   I notice I've not got the angle of the right (left as we see it) side of his chin quite right.  I'll fix that.  Probably some other clever clogs will whiz through it and give you a beautifully clean version before I even get up in the morning  ;D  ;D

Prue
P.S.  Whoops!  And I can see I've deleted the pen in that book, I thought it was a crack  :-[

Hi hol828

Not sure if it is much different to my first attempt!

Keith, did you download the 3.11Mb file or did you use Hollys original post?
