Had a blast at the MidWest Comp. There were only a few of us doing reptiles but we had fun thanks to Dan. Doug helped us out by casting parts for us. All in all it was a great success.
Denis hope you feel better and hang in there.
Thanks
Ralph

Every thing about that gator is awesome...
Tongue, body shape, throat skin,
Wish I could have made that trip.
I would say you guys really got you $'s worth.
I cant help but notice all the foam lying about. Did you carve the bodies or stuff?

Very nice job Ralph it is back up close to 90 so it shouldn't be a problem finding those gators big brothers in a couple weeks.

Yes we did carve the body but we "stuffed" the tail and clayed the legs. I am amazed at how good it is coming out being the first one I've done. But I had allot of help!!
Bubba I sent you a PM.
Thanks
Ralph
