Sam, I'm blown away by this great carving you just finished, not only the carving is great, the paint job is excellent as well, now that I've finally seen your work, I'm totally impressed, please keep the pictures comming.

Wow, that is really good, Sam. Very realistic.

I realize my opinion may not count for much since I am such a newbie but it is seeing stuff like this that makes me twitch and 1) want to try *everything* next and 2) wonder what sorts of things I might be able to do after a year or two (or 10) of practice.

Thanks for adding to the inspiration.
