"1967 Combat Engineer"  

This is a carving I made in 1999.   it was made with a friend of mine who was a model builder.  I carved the figure and he modeled the mine detector.  We made this carving for a friend, a retired Marine, who we thought might be retiring but he never did.  He is still working.   The carving is 12" tall, carved in basswood and painted in water based acrylics.  He resides in Northern Virginia.
