This guy was standing outside of a winery in CA. I just love his expression, in spite of the fact that he has lost part of his finger. . . probably the result of a really stubborn cork.

Was he wax, silicone, or resin?
That is pretty cool looking, and you did a good job of capturing it too.

HAHA, not sure if the finger or the head creeps me out more. :)

Probably a nice guy though. :p

Yep, that was standing by a doorway at the Cline Winery in California's wine country. I'm not sure what it was made of, but it looked like wax or some kind of resin.

I guess everyone just thought it was me. . . . . ;)

I bet that someone looked at that figure and thought, "What is this made of...?", and grabbed the finger and broke it, not meaning to, but still got out of there in a hurry. heheh
For outside, wax is a strange medium to use I would think, even temporarily, silicone would be better, it'd stand the weather better and also stand the test of people and their curiosity.
I know some of people that do some silicone figures that look so realistic that it's hard to tell if they're real or not.

That is sure a good one though, I love the expression... :)
