S e c r e t s:
In the words of the artist: “Atlas Shrugged” taught me an interesting lesson. It reminded me, if I needed reminding, that the original idea of humorous animal boxes was an excellent concept. I started this model a number of years ago as an attempt to carve something a little bit different. At first it was solid and painted with the high gloss finish that was later used on the Fragile World range. Over time it was improved by using the stained finish typical of Harmony Kingdom, instead of the gloss. An interior was added and a more traditional base was carved to help in the manufacturing. It was now clear that I had come full circle and ended up with a model that would not look out of place in the Harmony Kingdom range. So I suppose it’s true what they say. . . “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”! The model is missing one feature typical of my HK pieces – it is mouseless.
