(Had to share). I have that wonderful little Bowen designs NC bust,but it's lack of body sort of annoyed me. I figured that if I could make a cast of the head I could make my own body for it. I cast the head, and I bought one of those corny plastic skeleton kits to serve as a basis for the body. Unfortunately it turned out to be on a different scale than the Bowen head, so I decide to make my own head.
So I made the whole figure on the basis of an Airfix skeleton, with thin iron wire to hold it together, and simple white clay on top of it. the fine details where done in Milliput epoxyclay, and the tail was made of the metal wire in an old underwired bra. (sometimes it pays to be a chick). Oh yeah, i used a book on anatomy too. It was fascinating!
it's not fully done yet, but you get the idea. Eat your heart out, mr. Bowen.

Don't miss it, it's a really cool piece of flash programming. And it puts Dave Cockrum out of a job.

*hug* Ow c'mon drags! These aren't, like, useful things...It's mostly a matter of precious time invested wrongly. You probably have other talents that can actually make you money. 
And, the bowen one is a lot better. Especially close-up.

Oops. Forgive me, I would not have posted this link if I had known it would have a negative influence on your diet.
It's pretty bad isn't it? It had me busy for hours.
