I'm working on a Paul Bunyon-like figure right now and am trying to figure out how to incorporate Babe the Blue Ox. I'm leaning towards the idea of incorporating a blue ox skull...perhaps on his back pack.

I looked up Paul's legend, and it was interesting to find out that there are many towns, including Oscoda Michigan, Brainerd Minnesota, Bangor Maine, Portland Oregon..., that have claimed to be the place of Pauls birth.  Even earlier accounts of a giant-like skilled woodsman come from Quebec.
I favor the latter, because my Grandfather worked in the North Maine Woods as a cookee after emigrating from Canada.

 I have also been making and repairing fish.


Modeled after a dead bass I found on the Lake Erie shore

The tail just recently got repaired

  1. Great job on modeling the new fish! It looks great comparing it to the actual image on the previous post.
