As some of you know, since that little rascal got into my cheese; I planed to follow up with a revenge piece.
Started out with the same slab as the girl last week and at the same time too, before turning into 2D
Then I hit a snag, realizing the immense seize of legs and talons required. Stopped and did the frame and the girl instead.
After finishing the girl, I turned back and did the tail, leg and talons. That alone took one and a half days. The 4 talons are within a space of 3 x 3 x 4 mm. Thats certainly the smallest thing a have done to-date.
In the end I still needed to do a new mouse as the old one is to big. I took Frogs advise from last time to have just butt and tail, but wanted more. So I put most of the body with a slight twist but no head. As it took yet again 6 failures, I threaded from here on with care in order not to break the tail, talon or mouse; finishing those three parts solely by hand (sanding to 5000K paper) and used the dremel for the rest.
So then finally all came together:
Frame 56 x 42 mm , Owl 50 x40 mm, Mouse 16 x 8mm, Overall composition 65 x 50mm
Some angles
And the best shot a while ago (all pictures are out-doors under cloudy sky)
Thanks for looking, any suggestions to improve on future exploits are as always highly welcome.
