coldironkilz Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Hey Das, he is feisty, looks just like our flesh and blood bantam rooster. Hard to clean, I fancy letting him rust. How did your rabbit turn out (the finish)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 He's a scrappy looking for sure. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to clean, I fancy letting him rust. How did your rabbit turn out (the finish)? I actually have him on the porch at the moment. I set him out Easter Day and it rained that evening and he just started getting a brilliant brown rust on him so I've left him there to see how it goes. After that I'll be working on the other mixtures to see if I can even all the parts out. It's fun seeing the change each day. I used to raise some bantam chickens when I was younger. They were a joy. These days I'm all about the green and brown egg laying ameraucanas or Araucanians. Once you convince people green and brown eggs arnt rotten they love em. And farm fresh eggs are better then store bought any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Only if they're green and brown on the OUTSIDE! Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldironkilz Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Yes, green and brown on the outside yellow on the inside. We raise almost all our own food (meat and vegetable) and sell beef and dozens of dozens of eggs. Can't beat farm fresh IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Every time I sell eggs to someone that's used to store bought eggs they comment later how much darker the yokes are and how much better my chickens eggs taste. Farm fresh is always better. My chickens have it made too. They get to free range all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausfire Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hey, nice rooster, coldiron. I like the way you have splayed the wings to give him a gamey look. I see you've used a crane hook for the body. Handy aren't they! Not the best photo, but here's one of mine: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldironkilz Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 ausfire, the crane hooks are handy indeed. They are so representative of a birds upright posture. I was really trying to animate the little guy thus the flapping wings. Quit fun to make and instructional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
