Jamie, foam pig

#1 Post by TEX » Mon Sep 15, 2008 7:33 am

Hey Jamie
I made a little pig out of some of the foam you gave me.
He is in primer at the moment. He is only a quick one. My wife said it looks like a cute trunk less elephant.
It moves when you hit which is great if it stays upright so you can give it another shot. I managed to get 3 in with this go.
10 meters and he only made it 1 meter before he fell over.
I will make a fox this week. They work well as long as you don't pin them down.

It looks a lot like my mother inlaws baby photo.
Which is kind of scary. Now that I mention it.
I think I might have to go downstairs and put a few more arrows in it.
That's probably why I enjoyed shooting at it so much.

Not big arrows It's a little mother in law, Oh a little hiphog

No in one way it's good she doesn't look like her mum.
Sort of like her dad. That's a scary thought as well.

No she doesn't know I wrote it.

The Pig now looks more like a pig. He is now a much darker Hiphog.
