Just Something Fun To Make

[Scrappile]

I decided a day or two ago to try one of the color pictures.  So I did this one.. I really enjoyed doing it.  Kind of like making a puzzle.  Cut everything out, paint the pieces and put it back together. The hardest part was waiting for the paint to dry...It was a lot of fun.  Did not take long.  Another reason I wanted to do it,, I went to the woodstore the other day, looking for wood to make a step stool... Decided to check out the price of BB.  Last sheet of 1/8" cost me $18.  Today it is $62!  So I am making thing that I can use all the odd size pieces I have.. 

Any way, my first "scrap build". Lot of fun.

Who doesn't love Popeye? Great work Paul. The price of wood right now is staggering.

Dont narrow it down to wood.The price of everything is taking the piss . Poor getting poorer while the rich get richer.

nice job, I heard that there was a food truck selling donuts. $3.75 for 1 donut. I won't go there at those prices.

Ha, I looked at my picture again today.. I painted him with some Acrylic paint called "flesh".  Looks like old Popeye got a good suntan!

That is really cool Paul. I watched the show almost every week as a young un.

Love it .   $68 is a bit rich.  We all have a load of scrap we could use up though.

Love it!!! I use as much of my scrap as I can, My local Lumber Co, doubled the price of my 1/4 Luan from $11 to $ 22,09

Great work, Paul! Popeye was on our company flag in boot camp. Voted on to be our mascot.
God Bless! Spirithorse
