Fairby,
Could I twist :roll:  your arm to post your efforts as it would also encourage others to post as well that are maybe having difficulties making the sheep.
Perhaps I could give some suggestions before the Instructions go up.
The idea of the forum is to help each other & improve the art of balloon modelling.

My version. The proportions are a bit off but that is normal for a first try (for me)
It's not like it should be next try would be better.

Fairby, post your version! We do not laugh about it, you can only learn by trying it and people pointing out where you went wrong is a big help!

I think Dave is right. This is very good, you just need to add a pichtwist at the base of the neck.
The feet are basic, that should not be a problem. I started with the head because I suspect that that would be the biggest challenge and it was.

Yes please, the body is ok (The sheep not mine) legs ok but head and assembly is not good. 8-)

Can you post a picture, then everyone could help out & give you some pointers on any trouble you are having with it.
The body that you posted only needed the pinchtwist at the body/neck point.
Was there a pinchtwist at the rear of body to attach back legs?

Yep there was a pinch twist on version 2 and 3 but my bubbles were rubbish and out of proportion. Legs are ok. Tried making a head like a bunch of banannas and shoving neck through then had a big bang and I said a few naughty words. not got to eyes yet. I had lamb for sunday lunch so feeling a bit better. This sheep wont beat me.
Will have a go tomorrow.   8-)

Apologies I haven't had a go at this yet - haven't been around for a few days - if you can wait a week or so Graeme before posting instructions and I will give it a go later this week.

Here come the Instructions for the sheep.
The mouth is two pinchtwists, 6 finger bubble, another pinchtwist, a 7 finger bubble (side of face) twisted around mouth.
Another 7 finger bubble for the other side of face twisted into pinch twist at top of head.
then two 6 finger bubbles for the back of the head.
I never knew trying to write instructions would be so difficult. Pictures attached, hopefully they will help.
