Quote from: "Professor T Wist"What is next ?
Good question :idea:
What about one of the dogs I just posted in the picture gallery.
Don't want it to be too difficult that people wont attempt it, but then again not too easy.
I dont like the back legs on the dog so perhaps someone will come up with a better idea :?:
Graham Lee
I'm happy with the dog but we should maybe start a new topic?
Looking forward to seeing other versions of the dog.
Graham Lee
I will have a go at the weekend, I think this is definately tougher than the sheep, will be fun though :D :lol:
could you please put a pic of the back end for me as its this part thats getting me
Here's the rear end :lol:
As said in the original post, the back of the dog I think can be Improved upon.
Graham Lee
thank you
Well I gave it a go and I couldn't for the life of me get the neck right and the legs are really wonky... but here is the fruit of my labour and I look forward to the proper instructions!!!
Bickers,
That's a great first attempt, well done :D
To kep the legs together the feet have a connecting bubble.
I cant see from your pictures but in mine there are two small fold twists that help to keep the mouth, head & neck all in place.
The face is also made from 360's which might help some more with stability of the head & neck.
But well done for being the first to attempt it.
Sorry for the late reply, I must have missed this post.
Graham Lee
Here is my attempt, it is all 260s as I haven't got any 360s at the moment. I quite like this model, I am sure I did it the hard way and would be much easier the 'right' way. I kind of like the back legs. My eldest daughter is with me this weekend and likes it loads, in fact she wants to take it home with her :D so I am definately happy that I have done ok ish :D
Another great effort. I like the way you've attached the rear legs, as they are different to
my one and could well be easier to use.
Thanks for having a go.
Graham Lee
Ok I gave it a go but before I got any pics of it the mouth went down still took some pics, did it again but gave it a diffrent body and tried the head a little diffrent. Any way pics will show all :oops:
Dave,
The last picture looks a bit like deputy dog, I might be showing my age here.
It's a nice variation.
Graham Lee
