Cat skeleton

Cat skeleton I finished for a school, cat had chronic sinusitis.

 

Thanks, got it fixed.

 

Here's one of the skull and the bone damage.

 

Thanks for the kind words.

WolfGirl- Was the cat declawed in the front? Yes the front is declawed.

Voltrax- It looks like sternum cartilage is intact? How did you manage to do that? I drill and insert a wire down through the sternal bones while they are still together. Once I glue all the ribs on, I insert a piece on wire in the end of each rib and the other end through a hole drill in the sternum. Using the measurements from each individual section of cartilage I set the distance between from the distal rib to the sternum and glue things in place. Then all the cartilage is sculpted with Magic Sculpt epoxy. Probable more than you wanted to know.

Guus- Did you beetle it? No, all done by hand. I agree with your perception of the pose, but I gave into to having the hind feet entirely flat to make it more secure, knowing it would be used in the classroom.

 

Mike, are you implying that a good cat is a dead cat? LOL Least he won't shed.
