Default Figure head needs a name
This carving started out as a military figure and I got crazy with the hat. What should I name him? In case anybody was wondering it is rhodedendron.

Well, since he's military, they always use Last Name, First Name, Rank, Service (Doe, John Sgt USA)...

Having said that, he might be named "Col. Ron Rhodedend"

How about Sargent Sketcher--the name just popped into my little head. No particular reason or known person as far as I know anyway.

Talking Re: Figure head needs a name
My mom says it also looks like hitler but he never sported a burly mustache. I never thought of the pink panther but that was a good one.Thanks for all the input.
