Haven't had the energy to be very productive especially with the heat and humidity.
I hope to finish the detail painting and clearing today and tomorrow. Then I can get a shot of all the pieces hanging on the fence.
It's all cut from scrap 1/2" exterior ply except the tail, it's 1/8" BB.
I'm going to mount the tail so that any breeze will make it wag and wiggle

That is cute. Take it easy in this heat and humidity.

Darned near killed me but I finally got him done.
Painted with water based acrylic and cleared wit clear acrylic spray. I probably give him a heavy coat or two of spar urethane someday.
I mounted his tail with a spring hoping for more action from a breeze.
97 F in the shop today!

That is really cute! You do really well on the details too. As always, I'm impressed and your sense of humor really comes through too.
Yeah, the heat is something but before we know it we'll be complaining about the cold again. Although we could use some of that cool down here on the Gulf Coast, just like you guys.
