9" long, 2 1/2" wide, 20 hours and 160 pieces. The face is very difficult to do because you cannot shade EVA. Still looks OK - got the point across that he's pissed off. This will look really nice when inlayed in an actual grip, provided I do not screw it up, which is always a possibility with these things.
Next up is a NY Rangers Logo for my Dad's GUSA SW70MH, and then possibly a cartoon character or 3 or 4 as a demo rod?

Thanks a lot. Believe me, ZERO talent. Find a picture and trace it in foam, there's nothing to it at all. Just a heck of a lot of patience waiting for contact cement to dry.

Billy,
I believe you have depicted the attitude of every sturgeon I have ever seen perfectly. They just seem to be pissed off fish. The one I played anchorman Wednesday night took two men to land and it was only a little over six feet long. I’ll post a picture of this R and D subject; it looked like one of the Devil’s minions.

Top stuff Billy. You have a lot more patience than me. I'd love to see this one when mounted.
