You are right – I always enjoy making his models and watched the parts "come into shape”!

----------------------------------

Time for the hands and feet now.

Photo 1 – This shows the “hands” in place. Once they are dry I will introduce some curvature into the fingers to make them look more natural.

Photo 2 – One of the hind feet showing the “dew” claw.

Photo 3 – I actually wondered if he would stand on his own, and thought he would if I put some packing under his one foot. So, I rolled up a piece of scrap paper and stuck it on to see if I was right.

Photo 4 – And I was right! He stands on his own – precariously though (still needs to be secured to a stand).

Photo 5 – The roll under his foot painted.

Next step is to touch up the model with watercolour, and then respray it overall matt – I think it will look more natural like this - before attaching the head.
