Admiral Nimitz Maquette

Description

Rip Caswell's bronze monuments and memorials are located through the United States and abroad, in community developments, churches, museums and private residences.

Rip was selected by the Naval Order of the U.S. and commissioned to sculpt the monumental portrait memorial of Admiral Nimitz, which is installed at Pearl Harbor, HI along Battleship Row near the USS Missouri. A second copy of the original sculpture was also placed at the Nimitz Museum at the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, TX, Nimitz's home town. It was an honor for Rip to sculpt this WWII hero's image and he learned so much about our "greatest generation" and about his own grandfather, a Navy seaman who served under Nimitz during the war.

This 12" resin miniature is an exact replica of the monument.
