Default Thanks for the memory..........

I know it is not finished yet, but I am so happy the way it is turning out, I had to share. This is my first time to try a person, and maybe the third nickle.
Suggestions/crits welcome.

ps: I Hope he looks like the 'thanks for the memory' guy!

Gail,
Nice nickel! You captured all the features well, receding hair line, prominent forehead, ski-sloped nose, long smile line and that chin. Really like it.
Gene

Gail,
Just thought I'd add, "There's real 'Hope' in that coin!

Thanks for the comments,
I have some 'real' work to do the nest 5 or 6 days, but I will post a picture of it when it is completed. This is the result of about 6 different sketches I made to come up with the final look. The mouth and eye were the hardest to get 'just so'.
Later.
