Nice work on the Moai, and nice little surprise with the detail in the back.

YA, Excellent work on that there Moai Surfin and the background props helped make him look Ultra cool, Nice job, AND the tang mask looks like he will be a cut above too IF you photograph him with a nice background too.

Oh yeah, the Maui thing?? If yous guys are serious I'm sure we can work something out, it's just a LONG way from home and the travel is hard on these old bonze. Talk to me.
