Got some pics of it unpainted here:

I love the Boris painting on which it's based..the way he's kind of leaning back, while looking off to whatever challenge is looming...like a bow pulled taught, ready to strike...cool.
BTW...got a barnes and noble giftcard for the holidays and among the things I bought myself was the JLA That Was Then This is Now collection....vintage, pure vintage comics goodness from Stern and Byrne

That's Bob Larkin, doing a pretty good James Bama impression.

Oops sorry- I can't seem to load the image (Captain America) I'll keep
trying...

Love the Alpha Flight to Randy! (and pretty much everything else you produce)
I think this is what Randy was trying to post:
Metallic Captain America
apparently the colours are not quite so dark.
Looks really cool. I like the rotated head. It makes me want to buy a Thor (and the rest of the Avengers for that matter...)

That Doc seems so well sculpted but it didn't really grab me when I saw it. Seeing the Larkin original, it's clearly only "inspired by". Much like some of the Adam Hughes mini-busts, a lot is lost between the artwork and the sculpture.

I'm not American, and I've never really liked his
comics, but by god I ALWAYS feel something stirring
whenever I see a well-sculpted Captain America statue.
