The WW2 Pilot sculpture is half done! This sculpture will be going in front of the Jackson County Airport, Jackson MI. I have 280 hours in this project so far. Let me know what you think!

That’s incredible, simply amazing to see sketches turned into 3D art. I have no artistic abilities.

Very nice! I even like the little punched metal piece in the frame on the wall over the light switch in the last picture. Maybe you can also fill us in on some of the steps you take to make this, if it's not too much of a secret.
