"Game Over" would be fitted for a humorous image. This is deadly serious, 1950´s "americana" art, the real thing, fit for grandparents.

Well, I wasn't thinking about Americana art when I was making it, but thanks for the compliment, sir.

How much attention you put into the details of this sculpture is simply amazing. It is not just the folds in the clothing, but also the laces on the nurse's shoes, the visible veins in your friend's arms, the short stubble of the hair...these simple things make this piece stand out that much more.

Regardless of how much your friend's wife may dislike you, surely she can appreciate such a wonderful piece as this.

Very cool dude. Favourited

Thanks for the kind words. veins are easy if you have a waxer and I used very thin styrene rods to make shoe laces. I have 2 more copies of this sculpture.
Appreciate compliment

No worries. For someone who really has no experience in sculpture it is quite impressive. I'm sure some people wouldn't bother with such details, so to see such attention to them is pretty cool indeed

These days, action figure company put more details. You can go to toy store and pick up some figures from McFarlane toys, NECA, to look at.They are sculpted in 1/6 scale and shrank down. But some of them are really impressive. You have never done sculpting? It is fun but needs more tools than 2D work...

Nope, no sculpting beyond what you do with playdough I must give it a try one day though.

yeah he had to He had the luck to been taken very late, cause he was on the way to become a priest. But as Germany was on the way to loose they took everyone then he lost a leg from a granite who was thrown on his leaving boat. Then he went to lazzarett (hospital) and there he met my grandma.... .
He didn´t became a priest, cause he didn't could or want with only one leg be a priest.
Just imagine, if all that shit didn´t happen, I wouldn't be there to write to you !
Story doesn't end here I am pretty proud of what he has done later in politics and volunteering later But I don't want to bore you too much .
