Mr. Rick and Mrs. Nickie, that leopard is AWESOME!!! And I LOVE the look of the branch! The whole piece is just amazing

Nice javie Bob. Can you post a bigger pic of the backside ? I can see the outline of AZ but that's about it, my eyes are failing me.
And welcome to Yuma, if you pass through El Centro stop by and say hi.

 

Thanks! Will do. Actually, I've been here since 2008, but been coming to Yuma since '84. Let me try a bigger pic....

 

i just realized this thread was for lifesize forms. My bad

 

No bad, Bob ... Good!

May I ask where you got your Cactus? I noticed it appears you place the prickly bits in yourself. I'm guessing that's how they come then?

Anywhere you post it, it's a worthy mount! Well done!

 

Hey John, been a while since I talked to you The cactus are cast from the real deal, and also came from Roy Cogburn. I've had them sitting around for years waiting for an appropriate use, and this was it. Leave it to you to notice that, cuz that little cactus patch equated to an enormous (and unanticipated) amount of man-hours in its construction. I drilled out hundreds of spine holes, painted them, attached spines one by one, repainted them, blah, blah, blah...what a chore ??? Thanks for noticing

 

Cool pic nice wrap jod
