Little rest and I will start painting. Got to add a few feathers and a bit of rawhide binding and then a splash of paint..

Still need to connect with you one day re: casting... health and family issues have dominated my past 12-14 months. We will talk later I hope.

Thanks. Always try to capture the story in the face as much as possible. Having spend more then a few hours toting around a FN-FAL, M4, hunting rifles inlcuding a Hawkins .50 Cal I built years ago, I rely on personal as well has picture references to try to get it right...
