After I have my elongated figures, I tried to build large one to challenge myself in 1996. To fit them in the kiln, I have to cut it to 3 sections. later on, I built Bikini line to hind the cut line in 2001 then made a base with pole to secure the tall statues since 2004.
The highest one is about 2.4 meters. The common ones are about 1.4 meters. There are even recline ladies now.
