46" Buff being Hit by Big Lion.....
Day one.....alter buffalo from static standing pose to jump, run, lifted from end off balance from lion hit.
Adapt lion form to connect hip to hip with buffalo and front right arm grabbing for Buffalo's boss...
Bad cell phone pic but you can see what I DO....The entire piece will be suspended of the one back left leg of buffalo......only connection point to the base....

Cool, really looking forward to seeing the end result!
 
This is going to be pretty epic once complete!
 
look at all the scrap foam on the floor! that gives you an idea of how much work goes into a piece like that.thanks for posting this Dennis. I know that I have put in a full days work when the floor in my studio looks like that.
 
It's amazing, how much craftsmanship goes into every detail.
Looking forward to seeing the completed project.
 
Just goes to show you how much is involved in this kind of skill. Incredible, can't wait to see the end result.
 
Been busy with many other projects but this has been up drying for about a week now....
