Unhappy Killed the Bat

After many months of carving here, procrastinating there on a Western Mastiff Bat, I got to the paint stage and trashed him Well not really, I am going to attach a string and hang him from the ceiling in my shop/barn. Head and body was pretty good but wings with legs incorporated sucked. Oh well. I will have to try again sometime since I had a brass plaque made for it already. Thought that would make me finish him. Started a Ring-tailed Lemur today. No piece of cake either

Default Re: Killed the Bat

sounds like the dog i was carving to have its head on the bench, it looked fine until i cam in the next day to look at it and it looked exactly like a ermmit weasle or otter.
i tossed it in the scrap box for times when i want to carve something else, i wasent in the mood to do a small otter.

strange i can usualy save a charter gone wrong.

better luck next time,
