Snow sculpting

[rginn]

I was a day early, but they start with 2 ton blocks of compacted snow and do some pretty amazing things. Teams from different states and countries compete.

...and they're still not done. I watched team Lithuania's answer to Billy Gibbons work for a while. He didn't get the reference.

Guess he is working on the "legs"?

 

[rginn]

Could be legs, haha. Actually it will be a hand makin a peace sign. He has the model sitting on the block there and looks at it from time to time. It's a trite subject, but he could place pretty high depending on how much detail he puts into it. These guys are very good, and when he's done, you'll probably be able to read the palm. I just noticed the first guy kinda looks like Kurt Russell, too, ya think?

More pics tomorrow or the next day. Team Lithuania apparently took first place, so I'll get the finished product.

Hey, is that the guy from ZZ-Top for real?

...and they're still not done. I watched team Lithuania's answer to Billy Gibbons work for a while. He didn't get the reference.

No, CWH, it's not really the Rev. Billy G., and I don't think they even knew what I was talking about. They still took first.
