RUN


« on: February 06, 2012, 04:34:21 PM »

Well I drove up to get some insight from Dennis Harris this past weekend.
I had a tahr that a customer brought in and needed to be resized to fit properly. I have had mental blockage on the best way on going about alterations on large lifesize.
Dennis knows his stuff and was able to effortlessly find the areas that needed to be changed.
Iam more confident now and with a little more work by myself I`ll be seeing what needs to be done much more quickly and accurately.
I have several more to be altered coming up soon.
Thanks Dennis, it was nice to meet you.
Brian

Cool Beans Brian, was nice meting you and working with you,
I had fun.
Brian arrived Sat morning 8:00am and we stared with a Bighorn sheep close to the pose his client wanted. Changed head turned left turn shoulder into a hard right turn, attached new head and shoulders,re sized body and completed alterations
SHHH Brain don't tell them how easy it is... Grin
Got that done and Sunday started again at 8:00 and Brian left for home at 5:00 with his finished tahr.
If you ever need anything Just call me  Grin

Thanks for the very nice review.
You got a new friend   Grin

Yep sure is NO PROBLEM , if your cutting down that much then you have to consider bone lengths, mass, and many more things.
Can't tell you how that's what I give classes in and that's what Brian and many other have paid me to learn.
I guarantee that Brian can now do it after spending the weekend with me filling his brain with thoughts ideas and techniques.
