Gary, I can honestly say, I've never been a big fan of your choice in avatars, but my gosh I never knew that you had so much talent. You da man! Minus the avatars of course LOL.

John, Well you know what they say about pleasing people. I change avatars when the mood strikes me and keep them in a separate folder when I decide to repost "old favorites".

The one I'm currently using is of a member of the 114th Pennsylvannia Volunteer Infantry (Collis' Zouaves), I hope Zouaves don't cause you to have nightmares, colds sweats or any other unpleasant things.

Thanks for the kind works regarding "Willie" (flat bust), he's been fun to do.~Gary

Hi Gary..I think you've certainly captured the elements of the photo very successfully, and a really clean and smooth sculpt...lovely pictures too.
Good luck with the finishing touches.

Roy.

I'll be fine with this one thanks for asking. You've got to admitt. The last one had a terrible hair cut. It just distracted from the beautiful flag in the back ground.

Jay, Sure thing. This is the type of thing you do not see often, so if I did them for commercial production would do 3-5 for release at the same time. the reason being that releasing just one would make it look like an "oddball" piece while more would indicate either a collection or ongoing series.~Gary

 

[MAB]

Wow Gary
an optimal done good job, a lot being similar.
A good low relief with of the much delicate plans .
Bravo

Roy, Thanks a lot. I'm sure the full figure will not go as fast, but that's down the road a ways.~Gary

[PJ Deluhery]

Gary - outstanding work - as usual for you!

Ya know, you make it look so easy here that, after a few beers, I get to thinking that I (!) could actually do something like this!

Fortunately, I sober up sooner or later, but the dream lives... I plan to try this sometime.

Thanks for this most illuminating sbs!
