Default Looking for a Firefighter pattern
I am trying to locate a pattern of a firefighter to carve. If someone has knowledge of one could you point me in the direction as to where to find one. Whether its in a book and where to get the book or anyplace. It does not matter if its a caricature one or not.

Thank You

Can't think of one directly but Mike Shipleys Sea Captain could be modified easy and Theres a couple of books by Jim Maxwell That have figures in them that could be modified easy. I modified a soldier pattern into this fireman santa. Pretty sure both books are availiable thru Fox Chapel

I know I did a bust of a fireman from a past issue of WCI it had a pattern.. I don't remember which one but it was a gift for a local fire chief that retired and it was a fun project to do.

I got these freebies from the WCI website over the years. I couldn't find them on the website to give you a link. So, I'll just post them. Hope I don't get in trouble.

There's also a Pete Ortel Fireman in the Premier issue of Carving Magazine, "Little Hot Shot Caricature" pp.14-19.

Laura Irish had a great picture in her pyrograpy book. It would look amazing in relief.
