Beautiful work Ben (and you still look the same :wink: ) Any chance you will use some of these pics to re-populate the Tropicana TIKI thread?

Ben, It's about time, I've been waiting for you to join us here. What a legacy. Don't stop now I hope you will keep editing to add more and more to the bottom so that scrolling will keep all the photos together. I'm going to want to visit here often. Such massive and impress work and on the other hand you do such beautiful and delicate rock carvings. You are terrifically talented an inspiration for us all. Hugs, Wendy

Whoa, I never knew you worked BIG!!! How long ago was that?

Ben your work is incredible and amazing, I love your work.

:tiki: OMG! :tiki:

more like OM Freakin'G!
Excellent Ben!
It's great seeing these older ones
Really like seeing the seeds of more recent work
planted in these earlier masterworks!
YAY Benz!

Thanks for posting these pics, Ben.

Such an incredible catalog deserves a proper book that documents all this (if you should ever require a writer/historian to put a project like that together Ben, let's talk. I'm the man!!)

Cheers! G

Yeah Ben! Glad you finally did some good scans of the photos from your albums. (About time! :))

Thanks for posting Ben, Are any of those around still? Those are awesome!

I then Ben told me they were made during 1989 and 1990. Twenty years ago!

Cross-posting.

You can visit one of the Tropicana tikis now at Frankie's...

Great job!
I really love your carvings.

Hi Ben, we were just at Forbidden Island. We were staring at a beautiful tiki and upon closer examination be found Benzart carved at the base. We got to to say,
"we know one when we see one" always perfection. Thank you Ben for all the beautiful art you bring to this world. Wendy

I just saw your Tropicana tiki on John-O's thread. We will have to go to Frankie's in Las Vegas to see it.

I never get tired of looking at these pictures. Just makes me wish I had an "in" when they were getting rid of all these marvelous works! I actually have some 3D pictures of them, but they are 3D slides and there's no way to scan 'em.

The pics are good but the subjects are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing them, Ben.

Been awhile so heres some more.

You are THE MAN Benz, period.

I feel incredibly lucky that you have spent some time with me & showed me some things. You have probably forgotten more about tikis & carving than most of us will ever know...lol...

awesome...........

wow.
I had to got through them all again.

U KICK ARS...

great stuff ben !!

I was in vegas at the tropicana in may 94' - all those tikis and those huts were still there. I feel fortunnate to have seen them in their original setting. Who knew that 10 years later i would end up commissioning you for a carving and get to see all your great work here on tiki central..... small world.

Thanks Guys, Yes these bring back great memories and I'm Happy you still enjoy them. Heres some more.
