Practice makes perfect...

I know what you are thinking: what the heck is this? :D
Well, this is what I like to call my PS - Prototype Santa. 
A few years ago I landed a Christmas decor job in a local shopping mall. The idea was to make Santa and Rudolph, plus a few other large 'Christmassy' items. I'd never made a big Santa before, so decided to practice in my living room... 3 hours of thinking/twisting and there came out this weird looking Something.
Having looked at my new Creation I thought to myself: I can most definitely do better! So I noted my mistakes and when it came to the real thing on set, here's the proud result of my labors:
