I will be putting two models up this month but explaining only one of them.
The one people try the most and post pictures for will be explained on or after 21st March.

Road Runner, the first picture was done about 2/3 years ago out of 260 and picture 2 was playing with the design last week out of 360, it stands over 6ft tall.
3, The rabbit was made a while back, I think possibly for a challenge but can't remember. I would change the look of the snout next time.

Here are a couple of pictures from the rear of road runner but from different models so not exactly the same as the 360 version posted above, different beak, this one is a 360, the one above I think looks better proportioned with a 260 beak.
Feet are different and this one has longer top of the head plumage as well which I think was too long.
I have no rear views of the bunny but he does have a white tail and a pinch twist to hold his arms in place to the top of the body.

I only took front on pictures when I made this, was not thinking it would be used as a model of the month.
Any colour combination is good, just use what you have  :D   It's nice just to see people having a go.

I love the idea of the bunny, especially with Easter coming up, and have just had a go at it, but left my camera at a friends house last night. I will go and get it now, & post pictures when I get back.

I changed the snout a bit, and gave him a daffodill for Easter.

Be back soon !!!!!
Kind regards
Kevin

Ok, so here's attempt number one at the bunny (with wrong colours...) and using only 260's cos thats all i have!

I tried to do a different foot with toes similar to the hand, not too sure about it though

Good attempt  :D
Some suggestions, make the ears a lot larger, smaller eye/head bubbles, larger cheek bubbles and put the pinch twist holding the arms in place to the back,
Thanks for being the first one brave enough to have a go though.

Just got back, so here are my efforts at the bunny. We must have similar tastes, as I tend to do my bunnies in blue !

When I first photographed him he looked more like a mouse, so I changed the ears a bit. Anyway here he is
Kind regards
