"Lane's Last Ride"

[RW3]

This is a recent piece which is based on Championship Bull Rider Lane Frost's final ride at the Cheyenne Frontier Days in Cheyenne, WY on 30 July 1989. Shortly after completing the 8 second ride and dismounting, the bull, Taking Care of Business, turned on him and Lane died from the resulting injury. It's a 54MM original piece. Apoxie Sculpt and Kneaditite were used for all sculpting. Painted with Vallejo's. Thanks for looking!

Yes, Bob! Saw this at the Nooga Nats. I remember it won something as well. Have slept since then so I don't remember quite what it won.

Thanks for posting the work in progress photos!

I enjoy seeing the process of your figure builds. Sometimes just the finished figure is posted, like the process involved is a secret. That frustrates me. I might pick up one of your tricks for my own silly builds!
Thanks! Good work!

Thanks! I was honored with "Best Figure" at the Nats.

Best "anything" at the Nats is not an easy thing to do! I saw it and was impressed with the painting. I didn't know you sculpted it as well!

Congratulations!!! You deserved that Best Figure award!
