Thanks – I actually just painted it this afternoon and am now waiting for the first coat to dry.

It’s going to be attached to a simple piece of wood with routed edges and painted white. I’m hoping that it’ll be done tonight and I’ll post more photos.

Oh, how cute! Eric, you and Ana put me to shame–you’re so creative.

Ah, great idea. And that’ll make a good item for my Christmas list.

Thanks Scott.

For finer detail work like the tail, use a belt sander (bench mounted) or dremel to sneak up to the detail line. The dremel will also let you groove out the details in the jawbone and leg lines.
