Detail from part of the new sculptural maquette for the National World War I Memorial.Sculptor Sabin Howard has made an important new development on the new National World War I Memorial for Washington DC.

Working with another world-class, high-tech, sculptural imaging team -- this one at Pangolin Editions Foundry in the UK -- Sabin has been able to create a new, smaller, highly-detailed sculptural maquette of the final WWI Memorial design that is being developed to restore and enhance DC's Pershing Park.

This maquette will be part of the Centennial Commission's progress-update presentation for the next regulatory review meeting with the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) in April.

Centennial Commission Chair Terry Hamby expressed his enthusiasm for Sabin's work. "I’m very excited to see the new maquette, and am looking forward to the April meeting with the Commission of Fine Arts. We are really close to making America’s WWI Veteran’s Memorial a reality."
