At last, the Clangers are returning next Monday.
One of the supporting cast was the iron chicken.
As a tribute to Oliver Postgate, I made an Iron Chicken. It is perhaps a little oversized, being 3 times the pattern size suggested in this book bought for me for my 50th birthday.
So this is it, my own personal iron chicken, made using a mixture of old and new skills: plasma cutting, fabrication, MIG welding and good old blacksmithing.
Long live the clangers.
