Aden Cassidy Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Gonna thicken it up or something, the few goanna's I've seen have all been more solid especially the neck.Othrwise it looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Dave Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I think it looks great. It's not suppose to be an exact replica, but an artist representation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Some Aussie friends told us that you didn't want to be near a startled goanna, as they like to climb the nearest object-which could be you, and their claws are very sharp. Nice job as always. In like your design style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapartoz Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Thank you Aden, So Cal , Seldom, Winddancer and Big Gun Doc. I am entering 4 pieces in a show( more pics soon) and with this one I was going to try to enter the "Contemporary "section (If only I knew wot that meant!)yes i agree with your comment about the neck however with this sculpture I have tried to be more abstract and "contemporary" so left it more open and more bits missing . The main components are the pin lock square cut teeth off a dozen ploughs (plows) . These were used to lock the implement at a certain height. I ran out of them! Big Guns yes I these lizards have claws that would shame an eagle -lethal. I nearly lost a jack russel dog from blood loss after getting deeply hooked on a claw of a injured goanna here is a kangaroo I am also entering.......................... cheers and beers .

divermike Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I think it gets the point across just fine, and as long as you don't feed it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I like both pieces, being from the other side of the planet I don't know either, they're both only pictures here. It's not like a moose or brown bear, THOSE are real! They'll make a good impression in a show. You done good. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrapartoz Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Both are great. Seems like I've seen your stuff, elsewhere, on the net? Yes Poppaclutch .... I am guilty of self promotion on the net . I guess Im trying to make a full time career of a (so far ) profitable hobby . we all gotta eat ! . cheers mate. Thanks Diver Mike and Frosty, Yes...... our wildlife is not as savage as in Alaska but they do tend to have a bit of a chew on you after you have rotted a bit after dying from the poison they administered while you slept.!
