Completed Shall we Dance...

[Nap]

Hi Guys

As if I haven't got enough on my shelves of shame all in various states of WIP , now a total of 25


So I thought I would add another ...this is of course Yul Brynner in the role of the King of Siam in the film THE KING AND I

I picked this up from flea bay at a bargain price ....bit of prep needed , replaced the earing but now its primed and basecoated , eyes done

​

Still work to do on the eyes !!!

Here are some of the reference I will be using

Better make that 26 !!

Happy benchtime

I actually saw him in the stage version in London God knows how long ago.... I say, you're not going to sing or anything are you, Nap ?

Didn't have you down as a "Come Dancing" kinda guy but there again I see where you get the pose from.
Nice start and the lace work will look great.
Thank you for sharing

As I type I am gargling in readiness for my big live show ...........Nah its okay ...I can barely speak yet alone sing ( did try and get in the school choir as I fancied the music teacher .....wasn't successful in either way )

Nice start.

Wan't he so unpopular with other cast members that they used to scatter tacks across the stage for his bare feet?

Nice start Kevin.
This looks like one of the free busts issued at Euro Miniature Expo in 2018.

Cheers,

Wow, always loved Yul and I truly believe "The Hood" from the Thunderbirds was formed after Brenners likeness.

That was only one of the many pop culture in-jokes that Gerry and Sylvia Anderson shoehorned into their shows.
Now, who was "Lady Penelope" based on?

That's easy....after Sylvia Anderson i.m.h.o.

Congrats.
It was indeed easy enough - if you'r a fan of, and familiar with, 1960's pop culture.

The episodes were full of cool characters....

....and futuristic vehicles, They even gave Lady Creighton-Ward's Roller a FAB1 licence plate.

There now, after all these years I've finally confessed that when I was a kid, I was in love with............................................................................................a puppet!

[HansDig]

I was a huge TB-fan and, later on, my son was too. We once went to a TB-event here in Holland and I have a picture of me, my son and Sylvia !!!!! So nahnahnahnahnah Harry, bet you didn't get that close LOL
