~Brody's Prequel

WOW, I realized that part of a good story is a good beginning.  And Brody started his story on paper like most of my ideas, it is a way to visualize the workability.

This is a few days ago (first photo), Brody is approximately 85% complete at this point.
To make the braids I some times use a sewing pin needle to whittle in the detail. If you forget what a braid looks like try braiding three different colored strings.

Now for the other side. If there is a slight hang over or extention I will use plastic for the backing so after the hanging braid dries you can just pull away the plastic & the apoxy does not stick to the model.
