Default my old carvings

I carved the soldiers from cypres knees. Twenty years ago.I used paint strait from the bottle. I wanted gray but it turned out blue. I wish I would have known about basswood back then. it sure is easier to carve.

Pretty darn good, Arnold! Especially for twenty years ago.
It seems ironic for them to turn out blue, but we are all united now.
