If you're already disliked... then you should call it "Game Over" :-D

Well, putting "game over" on back of the base as its tittle did not seem too nice.

That's some fantastic detail on his charlies, excellent work! No crossed rifles though /sadface. I'd think the missus would have a hard time maintaining her stance after seeing this!

You even added the veins on the Marine Sergeant's arms! What a stunning piece, and something that your buddy, and even his wife, will cherish!

Well done! You should contact a bakery and show them a portfolio of your work. You will make a fortune on personalized cake toppers! This is AMAZING!

In fact, I try to get commission work, making custom cake toppers. I did not get any work. There are some sculptors who makes cake toppers they are expensive.

It's a refreshing change of pace to see something other than a regular bride and groom topper on a wedding cake.
I always find myself looking back to the detail in the nurse's hair, the folds in the clothes as well as the soldier's arms, it's all very well done. Congrats on a great DD, and I look forward to seeing more work from you.

There are some company that makes nontraditional cake toppers, I assume. But likeness was important in this piece.

This is far too beautiful to be put on a cake! What a lovely, nostalgic scene. I find that we artists in whichever caliber are often not fancied by other people. They cannot understand our hearts and how we dance to a different drummer. Their loss, that's for sure.
I hope your friend appreciated this heirloom gift.

Actually they did not put it on the wedding cake because I put the figures on bit bigger base like a dumb ass. I am not really an artist.
Thanks for the compliment

I prefer the term, artisan. I have never met a decent guy who call himself an artist.

Looks quite dandy.
I'd have it on my cake if i was a solider.
Have you considered making more of things like these and selling them?
On a side note, so the friends wife doesn't like you huh?
Bet she will like you after you show them this.

Have I considered making more of those and selling? Always. I don't have a regular job. I am still not her favorite person. But I can care less. Thanks for the compliment.

Maybe you can talk to her. Let her know you won't take him to strip joints and stuff. And compliment her. She'll get over it. ^_^ That is amazing work!

Nah... It is okay. My time is well-spent with cats than trying to get someone like me by giving them compliments. Thanks for concern, though. You must be a nice person.
