Default Colin's Mountie

I told Colin I was working on a Mountie for him. Well I couldn't sleep last night so I sat up and finished him. Made from basswood he stands 7" tall and about the same around. I hope I got the colors right. I went by what it said in the book I have. I'm sure I will hear about it if it's not right.

Ron,
He's terrific! What a friendly guy. I'm sure Colin will get a big chuckle out of that.

Ron,
You did a great job that is one fabulous carving. Especialy with your visual deficiency that is wonderful. The only thing I will comment on Ron is that a Mounties parts are royal blue not brown with the yellow stripe. I hope that you didnt take that profile of me. Not that the profile isnt mine. Probably too many Molson Canadian. Ron that is one great carving I am honored that you fashioned it after me.
Colin

That is one cute Mountie, Ron! Well done indeed! Maybe now you can do a Michigan Sate Trooper?? We wear a garrison hat and a blouse similar to the Mounties, except midnight blue,
and blue gray trousers with a midnight blue stripe! Expression is about the same and we DO eat donuts! \

Just kidding, but that is a neat piece of work!

Dave I also thought about a donut but wasn't sure either.

Colin I thought the pants should be royal blue but I was going by what the book said. I can change that.

Marci It's got to be clean or at least organized for me to be safe. I have to have system for everything. If someone comes in and moves my knives around I will more than likely get cut. So nobody messes with my area.

Al send me a picture of a Michigan state trooper and I will do one.

Ron,
That is a great carving and I believe it is a good likeness of Colin.

Nicely carved and painted.
