Ku smiles upon me...(or the mother ship has landed) - Tiki Carving

He needed a new pic- so we took some and I figured, hell might as well put these up on TC. Here's a 10 footer (my biggest yet). As you can tell it needs some detail work. The headdress isn't complete and it needs a good sanding. The pecs need work and the necklace isn't done either. This is the 1st time i've tried doing a torso, legs, and feet. It was pretty scary doing that on something so big-I was worried I'd totally screw it up but I'm somewhat content with it so far... here's a moai -7ft
