Ambitious undertaking, and you are really doing it justice. Really nice liknesses. Good to see you chose such a unique subject to sculpt.

I took another look at these photos in large scale, and I am just blown away all over again!!

I hope you will think about making this into a kit, Pat.

If you do, you can put me down for one NOW. :lol:

Thank you very much my friends for the kind words :bow: :bow: :bow:
Time for an update, but before, let me tell you what happened last september :wink:
Last 6th of june was the 75th anniversary of D-Day in my country, France. For that, the municipality of the town of Caen organized (for the first time ever in France) an exposition of more than 70 Norman Rockwell's paintings and other pieces of art. I couldn't let it pass and went to the exposition, driving for one thousand kilometers through the country.
My purpose is not to expose my personal life here :wink: but to tell the amazing thing that happened.
People must know the painting "barbershop quartet" i'm actually doing as a kit is in a private collection and usually not exposed anywhere (didn't see it when i've been to N.R Museum in Stockbridge, MA).
And what did i see first when i came in Caen exposition.............tada..... YES !!! :drool2:

Then, back to work :wink:
