          Thanks Ian and Rick, the Breda and donkey look good and can make into a nice dio. This donkey has every reason to bite the Bedouin just look at his extra load recently added...

            Very well done Richard the pose is very natural and "fluid"... love the work on the mouth and ears... plus the equipment looks very "natural" and heavy...

              Hi Richard......Greg is spot on, the little "beastie" looks like he is not enjoying his burden at all......very natural and life like. I look forward to seeing how the wet stuff turns out. :thumb2: Rick H.

                  Excellent loading for your well animated quadruped. This will make a very original little vignette.

                    Thank you, Greg, Rick, Scottie and John for the lovely comments. I don't know what kept me so long from completing the ears...without the tiny burr drills, it would have stayed that way. The mule sure isn't enjoying the extra load.

                    Did this just now and waiting for it to cure...rolled putty and teased to shape.

                    The handles make them look like two ladies with their hands on their hips. :smiling2:

                    The Bedouin received some sandals with the left over putty. You'll find him at the North African build post.

                    Cheers,
                    Richard

                            Love the way you have adapted the donkey, very nice. Certainly has the look of most donkeys when overloaded Richard.
