Great job on the warthog, you captured the energy and strength well. You made a beast of an animal look good! Well done.

Looks like a dodo so far.....you should post photos of your tool covers in the tips thread.....that tubing is a great idea, I think I'll try that.........instead of hand stitching leather ones all the time.

Reminds me of the Dodos in the movie "Ice Age". I just watched it with my son. Very similar. Great job!

Yes it is. Hopefully it won't when its done though. I have never seen the movie or much of anything on it but found a pic of the Dodo and thought I'd like to use it as an idea then do my own thing with it.

Thanks Kathy I've always been one that had to be different, just can't go with the usual flow.
