Easter build

So an egg? Bunny? Chick? Crucifix?
Nope I'm going for that little known icon of the wandering holiday weekend .... the crab

​

​

So there we have it for today, something I think is roughly 'crabesque'.

Good start Mr.G.
What size is the rod? Surprised you didn't just bend it.
But that would be cheating

Edit sorry can see now it is different thicknesses.
Well done.

More progress

Another claw, a 'face' and probably some adjustments to go.

Okay admission time - I actually finished Buster (yes I know ) yesterday, but decided to hang on for another update to spread them out.





Had to linish his shell as I blew a hole when adjusting his legs, but he'll soon rust again.
Quite pleased with the result.

He looks very familiar, I made one just like this years ago when I first started out.

Oooh! I like the heat colouring. I get the impression he is somewhat larger than mine!

MrsG requested a crab, she's also requested some sort of 'Fern' for the garden ... I expect you've done that too ... I've come to this far too late

Here’s a couple of ferns.

Ferns?
Here's one I made earlier. This was zinc plated, about 1.2m tall.
Plasma cut by hand, It took forever to clean the dross off the back of it.
