Finally getting back to it...

After missing about two weeks of sculpture time due to a series of most troublesome events (ie. work), I have finally gotten back to making the crab!

Here's the 'bond-o sculpted' VW hood all sanded down
and primed up for painting.

Here's Doug helping me load the heavy stuff; he's one of the great
guys from Wentworth Scrap Metal in Portsmouth.

Crab down!!! Oh no! ( Actually, when I put the crab down on it's front, it almost took me with it!...this bugger is heavy!)

The bottom of the crab was the last of the body panels I needed to weld...

...and as you can see, there were a few intricate pieces to get just right!

Here's what I'm thinking the side legs will look like
(before I weld them all together).
