Finishing Touches

Once the body had been dyed I was able to use the pattern I had made for the body to cut out a fux suede underside for the body of the wolf.

I then contacted National Fiber Technology To ask them about suitable adhesives. They suggested a particular contact adhesive which unfortunately I could not find this particular product at short notice. Therefore I used evo stick the contact adhesive we have here. This worked fine. However, I now realise I shoud have sourced these kinds of products earlier in the project to prevent this last minute panic.

Once the underside was glued I trimmed away the edges.

With the underside in place I moved on to the claws. I sculpted the claws out of sculpy and then baked, painted and varnished them. Once they were dry I Glued them to the suede using the same contact ahesive. When the claws were in place I was then abe to trim away the remaining long fur from the paws.

With the body complete for finishing touches I moved on to the head.

I put the eyes in place and sealed them in with the tinsil gel 10. I then punched the whiskers.

I painted the teeth I cast with acrylics and used some black pigmented silicone to make a fleshy gum texture above the teeth.

I then secured these in place with more tinsil gel 10.

This was the last finishing touch I added to the model. However, Even though the project is finished I believe I may make alterations in time. This I shall discuss in my report.
