Erik the Blonde

[Tom Ellis]

This little guy is from Floyd Rhadigan's book. In there he was Erik the Red.
He is about 4" tall, from basswood, and painted with acrylics. I took the freedom of adding some shoulder plates, as you never know who he might run into.

Thanks for taking a look, Tom

He is cute, but don't tell him I said that. ;-). Great job.
I like the extra protection gear. I have this roughout in my wood stash, need to get going on it one of these days.

He looks like a happy little Viking Tom. Fine work!

Re: Erik the Blonde

It might be his very first ax. He really doesn't look too mean.

Thanks Joe,Kris, and Terry. Time to get busy Kris.

Re: Erik the Blonde

I love Vikings and Rhadigan. Did you run out of red? Cute all the same. I like blondes too. Nice carving and painting. Thanks for sharing him with us, Lar

Re: Erik the Blonde

Thanks Mark, I appreciate it.

Atv, one this one I used krylon polyurethane satin. Normally I use Deft satin.

Thanks Lar, but I like blonde vikings. Just use the natural basswood for blonde hair.
