This is the start of a new project that will eventually be cast in bronze. We started with a cast of the fossil, sculpted out the distortions and started building clay to form the muscles and fur as would be done in a forensic reconstruction.
Here is a detail of some of the fur texture. lots more work to finish on this so I best get back to it. More to come as it develops.
