When I saw Toby's shot yesterday, titled Invasion, my mind immediately thought of the word "Execution" for some reason.
I decided to put Bender behind the blindfold since he was a good model last time.
I planned on using Buzz Lightyear as the executioner but it didn't quite work out how I imagined it.

Outside the restrooms at the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is a little collection of coin-operated amusements, some familiar from San Francisco's Musee Mecanique. This one was new to us. The condemned man's head lights up orange when he's electrocuted.
After the battle of Wood Lake between the soldiers, under Gen. H.H. Sibley, & the Indians, under Little Crow, 2000 Indians surrendered. The Sioux warriors were all arraigned before a military commission, consisting of Col. Wm. Crooks, Lieut. Col. Wm. R. Marshall & Capt. H.P. Grant, with I.V.D. Heard as judge advocate. The commission completed its work November 5, 1862, & condemned three hundred & three of the culprits to death. They were at once removed to South Bend, on the Minnesota River. Their families & the other Indians were taken to Fort Snelling & confined all winter in a stockade. The condemned Indians were shortly removed to Mankato & confined in a large stone warehouse, which is shown at the left in the picture. President Lincoln was prevailed upon by Eastern people to mitigate the sentence of most of the murderers. He orders thirty-nine be hung. & the others imprisoned. The order for the execution was issued to General Sibley December 6, 1862, & on the 26th of December, 1862 thirty-eight were hung on one scaffold at Mankato. One had cheated the scaffold by dying a natural death. A man named Dooley, whose family had been murdered by the Indians, was granted the privilege of cutting the rope that dropped the platform from beneath the Indians & swung them into eternity. The rest of the murderers were imprisoned until spring, then removed to Davenport, Iowa, & soon after sent to a reservation on the Missouri River & liberated.
The leaders of the 1916 uprising were executed here, including one who was too sick to stand and was tied to a chair and shot. This brutality had the effect of turning the previously-indifferent populace against the British.
I went a little overboard on carving away the teeth but, considering that I've never used this technique, I'm fairly pleased with the result.
