The final stages of assembling the Crocodile.

All connected. Note the straight tail.

I decided to give thetail a bit more shape by cutting and taping sections into a curve.

Beginning to cover the Croc with Bondo. It was the first animal I hardened up this way and has most of the mistakes as a result.

More bondo, and using some paper to fill in holes.
med | big | huge |
With a coat of bondo over most of the surface, the croc was getting much more rigid. Note the paper toes of the feet.

When I first stared this, I was doing the bondo-ing in my garage, but after a couple weeks of constant fumes in my (attached) house, I moved to an outside space covered with tarps against the last rains of winter.

I made rough feet out of clay that was then covered with more bondo. This also sealed up the ends of the legs so I could later fill them with a solid plug of plaster.

Adding some spines made of clay on the fish prior to the first coat of bondo/fiberglass resin.

Since my 2003 project, used fibergalss brushes go into my growing brush 'tree'.

Assembling the dog. This has been the hardest one to figure out of the 3 I've made so far.

Taping together the pieces of paper that will soon be an Orang.

Headless Wonder. I left the head off the dog, having learned from the croc how hard it is to work inside after the head is present.

My 3rd attempt at crocodile teeth. The fiberglass covered clay versions weren't tough enough. I think these wooden ones should last better.
