The first thing I did was achulpt all the spikes. Next I did the head. I chulpted derectly over the old one. I removed the tong and made it shorter. I also cut off part of the jaw to make it shorter. The claws were toothpicks atached with chulpt. Then I painted I wich was prety simple glos black and yellow with some dry brushing wich you can't see in the pictures. After standing back and looking at my work I decided to cut off that ofle buten wich was on his back. I cut it off sanded it down then I schulpted over the whole giving it texture so thet you would never no I had done anything to the back. Please forgive my slopy work this is the first custom I have done using goold tools and schulpt plus I'm only 13.
