Dog statue

[undercut]

My wife loves our Lahsa Apso, Murray, so I am making a little statue that she can put on her desk at work.
It's a secret project and I am sending it Fed Ex to her.... Gotta get brownie points whenever you can!!

Man do I feel like an inferior husband .... I suspect your wife is going to love it.

Lol... I've just learned over the years that this stuff helps out when I screw up!! Like when I brought home a brand new Mustang without talking to her... I had a brain fart that day!!

Car or horse?

Cool little project.

Long as you do not bring home any cougars.

Wouldn't it have been easier to simply dip the dog in plaster of Paris, hold it there until it stops moving, then allow the plaster to set up,
carefully cut it apart to remove the plug, and use the mold to make a bronze?

Seriously, I admire (and envy) your artistic sense. I'd like to be able to do stuff like that, but my level of artistic talent is such that when I can draw a straight line with a ruler and a pencil, I'm pretty pleased with myself.

This has turned into more than I planned.....


Working on the snout....

Cut tubing....


Heat and bend...


Make tongue...


Still needs some work but getting there....

Nice eyes! It's coming along very nicely.

Oh, that is sooooo bad!
