Thank you, Randy! That is very appreciated praise coming from the prop master! (I have to play in the concrete, as I’m not that good at working in the abstract. Tangible objects I can touch, build or repurpose.) 😉

Saffle. Randy Saffle. You know the name. Head of Q Section here on the board.

Randy just re-created for me this awesome Tiki statue as seen in the 10th episode of season one of “Gilligan’s Island” - “Waiting for Watubi.” The prop department made a resin copy of a Kona Tiki statue, originally carved by renowned Filipino artist Milan Guanko.

Randy kindly designed, fabricated and hand painted this awesome replica at my request. It will be a centerpiece for our Gilligan's Island-themed Halloween party this year.

Thank you, again, Randy! Fantastic work!

That was fun! My digital sculpting skills are improving with every attempt but it's still new enough to me that I dont know if I can pull something off. Makes stuff like this fun. I appreciate your kind words and support that I always get from all of the members of this board. It motivates me to do the next project.
