Nice. Do you do the foundry work yourself? What would it cost to cast in bronze something I might do? Reply to my email, billrquimby@cs.com if you prefer.

For the brinze, I suggest you find somewhere to insert my name, as well as the score of my buck ( im thinkin 119 is the lucky number) You need space for 12 letters :)

Looks really cool Foundryman! It's great to have so many talented artists around here!

 

Do you have a closeup photo looking at it front on? I would kind of like to see it that way.

Sorry Jason :(

I think you need to start all over :unsure:

Rather than waste all the fuel to melt that one back down

Send it to me so I can show it off (i mean make fun of you) :P

Looks great ;)

You do great work

Mike

I may do another one and make an edition. I'll put them in the Coues Store, and give a big huge discout to Members. Well, good luck on your one day hunt!!>>Jason
