I printed off your picture and took it in and put it on the mantle. The "REAL" toy soldier would look great there in replacement of the picture. heheheheheheh
Excellent job on both carving and paint.

Kenny, my effort for 2. toy soldier ornaments, your printed pic in the background...

had a lot of help from my grand sons tutelage, every day so far he has given me the update of what was missing
first day he seen them his words was no arms,,, next day after i carved arms he said no eyes,,, next day he said no paint,,, i think he would have likes to help paint but i didnt like the idea of cleaning up all that mess so i finished them last night ...
