Making a man sweeping the snow "flattie"...

Post by **Howard** » Wed Aug 10, 2016 3:01 pm

good afternoon...

while waiting for the paint to dry on my street lamp refurbishing project and new bulbs...i'm working on another "flattie"...

he's a blend of details from two sources...the street weeping man seen in several of antoinette's christmas mantels...and a vintage marx toy train figurine pushing a warehouse broom...

nothing new as far as making him...he's done just like all the other "flatties" i've made...guess i really need to do a group shot of all of them...

my very best regards...howard...

Nice design Howard. Yes! A photo of all of your flatties together would be a real treat to see.

Cheers,
