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?)

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.
