Old Soldiers Never Die!

Old Soldiers Never Die!

Originally published in July 2011

“Here’s the completed head of a figure I really look forward to doing someday.  I’ve always admired the Willie & Joe cartoons drawn by Bill Mauldin.  I remember my folks had a book of them and I was constantly wearing out the pages.  Not sure what this fella will be doing but I will try and put him in a situation that those other two characters always seemed to find themselves in.”

Ok….We’re back to 2024.  Below is a finished soldier but not the one pictured above.  If you look closely you can see the top of his rifle  strapped to his back.  Also, there is a video series on carving a different WW2 soldier on my Youtube channel.  

Comments welcome.

I might be a little man in a big world but on our 30 acres I'm the one in charge when the wife's not around!
