Is it true that each of the figures was modeled on an actual person?

I don't think that's the case. The officers were taller, better built and intentionally modelled to appear 'wiser' than the leg infantry riff raff, but I don't think they were modelled on a particular individual.

You know, guys, it's about time to refocus on the really important things after Sandy's wrath. Sure, some people lost their family, homes, livelihood, pets and property. That's too bad, really. What's really important though is what's going on with this Jersey Shore resident:

Very interesting. But the faces are individual, right? I mean, the figures were made individually, not molded.

Yes. The figures were made individually, but I don't believe that the sculptors had a particular visage in mind for the facial features.

Still, takes some skill and imagination to create thousands of unique figures.

You betcha.

I wonder if they knew ahead of time that the best artisans working on this project would be entombed alive in the project when it was completed? May make me want to be the second best artisan in my field.

Go Cats!

When I got home from the hockey game (2-4 loss[:(]) I was able to catch most of the 4th quarter. They loked good.

Got your turn. Something had happened on my end.

So, you think that opening up a cowling gives you straightaway license to opening up schools and jars? Please keep us informed when you open up the next Playboy Mansion, wouldja? I'd like to be there for that party.

Oh dear, there'd be no officers left in the RN if they did that here.

I didn't swear at all. Well hardly any. OK, a little bit. Actually I deliberately swore so they couldn't use that bit [:D]


I only took the bit off because I felt like a right tit just leaning over the engine and not doing anything.

Maybe they were looking for a right tit and you messed up their shot.
