"le messager hesitant"... The Reluctant Messenger!

Well... my (not so) little misfit messenger 
is finally coming all together!
He stands 23 inches tall (without his top hat)!
He wears a waist-coat made from a very fun, nubby 
wool fabric remnant that I found at a resale shop.
Underneath is a vintage crochet lace vest... 
and he holds a small box 
with two vintage "special delivery" stamps affixed.

TO DO LIST:
paint and crackle his head and hands...
give him a proper gentleman's paper collar...
attach some old bone buttons down that vest...
and add some laces to his shoes.
