Managed an hour or so on the Moai pendant yesterday. I think it will be ok but... I really want to try a more 'realistic' one & start with much thicker piece of stone; this one is just a bit thin to get any decent depth into the face. Shouldve known that from the start...

I admit I am a bit nervous of trying to get too traditional too Benz. So hard to get just right & can look so wrong (I think the head is too large for the body of MMM, been staring at hei-tiki to long, haha).
They just beg to be lampooned a little I reckon... In all respect of them of course :) heehee
I had a play around with trying to hang 'Hei-Moai' from his arm on the night... Wont attempt any H-Moai until I get the design just right but stayed tuned...
