progress

 The clay on the back side fell off last friday morning, two days work on the floor. The clay was too heavy and wet and it didn't have enough to grip onto. To recover this I added a bulk of polystyrene wrapped in chicken wire to the back and tightened the chicken wire already there around the thighs.  Then I attached lots of butterflies around the whole area to support the clay.

Ive been working on the stomach today and the front legs which needed an additional piece of ally and polystyrene and chicken wire (as seen above). Trying also to make the frog legs look strong enough to support the bull. Cant seem to bulk them up enough.

Given him a flat frog bum and some more bumpy bull areas on the bod. And even got carried away enough to mark out the beginnings of a saddle. Looking forward to refining him.
