Title: It is time to keep your appointment...

...with the Wicker Man. Not the Summerisle version, but how I imagine the ancient Celtic effigy; rather influenced by indigenous reed dance costumes from my country, and by my limited modelling skills.

Here he is. The new editing system is even worse than its predecessor.

That looks very effective Alexander 8) . Out of interest, what did you use to make it?

I tried toothbrushes, but they reverted to fibrous chaos under the scissors. Old paintbrushes, which I never manage to clean as well as I suspect I should - that did the trick; they clog up at the base, and turn into bundles of furze quite easily with a few snips.  The dolly is a cheapo plastic figure.

Of course he's sad. He was hoping to be starring opposite Judy Garland!

Every time we tried, I'd get...ummm...well, distracted after ten minutes and things would deviate from the original agenda.

A fine looking wickerian, Kitty. Well done.
I assume you will trot this out at some critical game point in an attempt to terrorize Lee?

Hmmm...the Inquisition hasn't succeeded in that. A Conquistador in a cooking pot hasn't succeeded. A Persian ruler mounting his horse on a captive emperor's back hasn't succeeded. A gallows in a dam' Yankee camp hasn't succeeded. A daimyo surveying trophy heads hasn't succeeded. Ch'in labourers burying dissidents alive provoked a rueful remark on human cruelty, but didn't intimidate her either.

Nice idea, but it ain't gonna work.
