Gentlemen, I thank you all for the far too kind words! Many thanks for looking and I'm glad you like him! On to the next project, I should have him done in a FLASH!

I have to go with you on the button thing Jay, those are infinitely more eye catching than plastic would be. I don't think anyone can gripe about this as issue is always a matter of the old and the new. As usual this one proves your uh, intimate relationship with Satan... :}.

Once I stopped chuckling Steve, I was able to jot down my thanks. Glad you like my choice of fasteners. Gotta go........I think that's Beezlebub hollerin' at me again...........

Just for the fun of it. A few minutes in Photoshop and voila.........a picture from Grandpa's photo album!

Superb work Jay
Beautifully done, I particularly like what you've done with the representation of your flesh tones in cold weather, congratulations .
Cheers

[Sambaman]

Thanks Alan, I'm glad you like the flesh tones. I had to exersize some real restraint from going to dark so I could achieve the "cold" look I wanted. I'm usually right in with deep shadows on the outset that I had to really tone down in this case. Thanks again for the kind words!
