He looks as if he’s been hanged by the neck until dead! Retrieved him yesterday from dd’s house.
I made him last year for Gds, and did think at the time that his neck didn’t seem robust enough for Mr Chuck-and-Bash Gds, still only 3. But he was such a fiddle to make, I can’t just give him a decent burial, even if he was a villain.
Shall have to try a shorter neck, probably reinforced with a few plastic drinking straws, one inside the other, as described by Jean Greenhowe for shepherds’ crooks (nativity set). The pirate pattern said just one, evidently nowhere near enough! (Not for my Gds, anyway.)
