Beer-Thirty

Here's a figure I did a while back that I don't think I've posted before. I had a lot of fun carving him but the most enjoyment was collecting and disposing of the reference material. I made the six-pack carton out of metal and then individually carved the bottles. To make them look like glass I gave them a couple coats of high-gloss poly and will have to admit that they really do sparkle just like a glass bottle.

There must be a lot of beer drinkers who relate to this piece as I barely got it off the paint table before it was gone.

Sorry, this is the only photo I could find of him so there are no additional photos in the gallery. Comments always welcome and if you look at the comment box below they've added a new category where you can now sign with your name without having a Google account.

  1. Another good one Lynn! Did you print out the coors logo and glue it on the 6 pak? I bet you did sell it quick, whole production line of those would probably sell LOL...

  2. Dave....I lifted the logs from the labels on the bottles. They were the perfect size.

    Very cool - guess you'll just have to carve another one so we can follow the step by step process. Oh, come on now - you know it will sell quickly. (-:
