How can you deny the effort and sense of purpose that went into that masterpiece. That's what put him to sleep at night.

Holy, what a job.

Very impressive work, that's a amazing amount of matches used.

I'm nutty as a fruitcake and paint miniatures.....I'm think'n I might blend in well with these guys....Ah.cha.cha.cha.chah........
