Tenticles?

So first off i covered the pins in her back to start forming the horns. this was a big no no. since the pins were un textured and practically straight the putty kept spinning arund the pins. and they would still do that even when dry so i changed my tactic and needed a thin wire of putty and wraped it around the pins so the later layers had something to grip too.
Second problem was that i did totally the wrong mix and of the wrong putty too. Should have used brown stuff from the get go as it drys harder. green stuff drys flexable which made me die inside.















I have added some detail under the shell but you can see that so thats as much as im going to mention about it. since the horns were takeing an age to dry (not that long but i was feeling impatient) i decided to wrap the legs in some beading wire (which is awsome as its realy maluable). sat for a couple mins getting no wear fast as the wire kept spinning around. so i glued the end of each of the legs and then went to get a video.












When i got back the glue was dry and i wraped the legs nice and tite. then gave them a wipe with some Superglue.

Once that was dry i sniped off the extra wire and saw CC off her copper wire/cork stand.





















i discovered that one of her back legs was way too long even tho i measured them all when i put them on >.> i liked that she didn't stand with all claws on the ground as it gives her more of a pose. too bad that all of her weight is in her face at the moment so she leans on her front legs instead of her back. I'm sure this will change once the horns are done and her baskets and on. If not them I'll just have to attach her to a base.

Made up a little brown stuff to coat her horns but way, way too much. So stuck what was left on her legs to start bulking them out. Hope i didn't ramble on too much there, peace out.
