Rosie the Riveter

This is a recent project that I both sculpted and painted.  It is based (somewhat) on the
image of Rosie the Riveter from World War II.  Taking elements from both Norman
Rockwell's painting & the "We Can Do It!" poster-  then creating more of a pin-up
version of the character.  I was provided with the base & some of the scenic elements-
beam, tool box & 55 gal. drum.  The figure, gloves, lunch box & rivet gun are all my
sculpting.  This is a resin cast of my original sculpt.  It is approximately 1/8 scale & is
about 8.75 in. tall-  with a base of 5x7 in.  Materials used included-  sculpey, epoxy
putty & styrene.  The air line for the rivet gun is actually a length of insulated wire with
a small hex nut & a short piece of brass tubing for a connector.

This was a commission project for KitKong's Model Mansion & a limited number of resin
kits are available.
