David And Goliath

It's David and Goliath—or rather, Conner and Goliath, in this case.
I was asked to create this cardboard Goliath by the YW Presidency in our Ward. They wanted to show a full-size representation of the towering behemoth, himself—all nine and a half ft. of him. It leaves me wondering just how much a man of this size weighs. Any ideas?

I'm sure he had a hard time shopping for clothing at the mall in Canaan—even at the big & tall place. But, I'll bet he took comfort in always being the first one chosen in every neighborhood pick-up basketball game.

Well done Ry Ry!

Looks really life like. As you know that is my favorite story of the Old Testament.

Looks really great! I just wonder where you find time to do all this stuff.

You are really an asset to your ward.

I am not surprised with the great outcome of your project. You are such a talented fellow!. And I bet he would weight a lot - way more than Conner!
