Vacation!


We took a cruise on Holland America that left from Seattle to the inside passage in Alaska. The trip was fantastic. One highlight was stopping at the Boeing Museum in Seattle. Worth the stop! WW2, WW1 aircraft, plus modern stuff too. Outside of Juneau we visited the Mendenhall Glacier. Here is a picture. The front of the glacier is about 250 years old!

Finished





Well, finally had time to take some pictures, and show this one off. One ugly dude. Painted in oils, for most of it, except the mail is acrylics as is the helmet. The sword is natural metal with acrylic for the sheath. I had to re-do the base, as the one I originally made allowed the bust to tip over!
