First layer of oil paint down on the new face. Detail and speckling/spattering (the fun stuff) will happen after this layer dries to the touch.

Here's one of my studio assistants putting together a brand-new HUSKY shop table for me to sculpt at. (How do you like my vintage, beat-up floor?)
She took it very seriously and I didn't have to go back and tighten very many screws . . . what a trooper!

Just finished sculpting the clay master & building the silicone mold on Chuck Lindberg. A hard jacket mold comes next; waiting on materials to arrive. I intend to cast him in urethane resin the end of next week.
One of 13 full size figures I am creating for the Minnesota Military & Veterans Museum.

My dear wife, Pat, and I had a wonderful time yesterday at my nephew’s wedding. I officiated the ceremony, then relaxed for the rest of the night - aside from the dancing!

I saw it on TV on a Friday night during the summer of 1976. It changed my life. Seriously. It happened at the very time I was discovering Airfix HO scale soldiers and Britains Deetail painted figures.
