You were right on about every one that you carve opening more chapters in the unbelievable subtleties that make up the Moai. from the very first thoughts of "this'll be pretty easy, can't be too complicated" to the second realization (even before the rough out is half way)of" Darn, these guys are not as easy as they looked", to the Next realization of " Man, I HOPE I can finish this guy, Crap, I Posted it, Dang I Gotta finish it" to the next and so on it keeps going. And when you think you have him pretty much all figured out, you decide to Change it to suit your style and realize "darn thats not that easy,,," And so goes Moai carving IF you do a few. The more you do the more you learn about accurate human anatomy and the more respect you have for the RapaNui Ancients. After all that, (Don't know how YOU started me on That road!), your Moai are really getting exciting looking. I Love the chances you are taking with them,And in STONE Even, forever there for All to see! can't wait to see how this guy finishes. He's Already got a Super proud air about him.
