Monkey missed you @ the lagoon Kinny! Here's the shipwreck Hawaiian I started before and continued @ the chop. I still have to sand away "the poopies" but his legs are too squat and torso too long for my liking. Bowana pointed out the separated legs were a throwback to my Tangaroas and that I somehow had completely ignored the heels together stance of the vintage Hawaiian I'd been using as a guide! When you're right your right. Bowana also reminded me of a great old trick when working in any medium: Turn your piece upside down from time to time and you'll be surprised the little flaws and proportional miscalculations that jump out immediately!
