Haha yeah, I noticed it looked like a Mudokon Pop!
@ Nate,
Actually, I used to make the whole model first and then paint it when complete, but recently I've been using a 'component' approach. A problem I found frequently before was that it was difficult to paint the whole model since some areas were near impossible to access with the brush (typically under the arms, and the sides of the torso)- so I switched to painting each part of the model separately, and then assembling it afterwards. Kind of like an airfix kit
Also, it is a benefit because if I notice anything to improve on with the sculpting, I can alter it far more easily!
