Hey guys! I've been pretty busy trying to get done with this for Saturday. I still have a lot to do but it's looking hopeful. The fabric is just spandex and I spray glued it on. Just work it in a little at a time. The main body is ready for paint, the shell and head are started and I have planned the pads. No animatronics for the head just a mechanical jaw.

The eyes... Christmas ornaments with iris printouts glued in place and white paint

The body before latex

The start of the shell

The feet drying

The beginning of the head... Looks like a frog so far I'm afraid but I still have some shaping to do. I hope to have the shell done tomorrow and the head almost finished. Im off Wednesday I'm hoping for paint then and pads and final touch up Thursday. I'm not getting my hopes up but that's the plan thus far.

Well tonight's the night, and I actually finished early. I think it came out good. There are little things the could be better but all in all for never doing any sculpting, latex or airbrushing before I'm happy
