00:02 Okay then Darren, lots of examples here

00:15 that have from the start what you've done.

00:17 Just tell me about the new venture

00:18 which is going to go to Southern Detections.

00:20 - Yeah, well, the idea came about on Facebook

00:25 when I've been putting up my previous work

00:29 which is usually based on music artists and actors.

00:33 And I had an overwhelming suggestion

00:37 about doing a Summon play, past or present.

00:40 So we decided to go down that route

00:43 and got in touch with the Fans Museum and they're on board.

00:47 So when that last screw goes in,

00:51 hopefully we can unveil it at the Fans Museum.

00:53 - And you need to tell me who the first one's going to be?

00:58 - Well, we've teased it out there on Facebook

01:00 and after popular response and hundreds of comments

01:05 and likes, we've decided on Kevin Phillips.

01:08 - Well, I understand that once Kevin's done,

01:09 you're looking for further suggestions

01:11 for further legends as well?

01:12 - Absolutely, yeah.

01:13 I plan to do about five or six of these

01:16 over the next couple of years probably.

01:21 Each piece takes between 70 hours and 150 hours

01:24 depending on the size and the amount of screws.

01:28 So about five or six and we've had various suggestions

01:33 like obviously the big names like Jimmy Montgomery,

01:39 Bobby Kerr, past and present, Kevin Ball,

01:43 Niall Quinn and even O'Niall.
