ausfire Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I found a clutch fork in the scrap and it immediately suggested the body of a scorpion. The nippers are a couple of pairs of Wiss snips and a bit of old bike chain makes the tail. Rebar in the forge forms the legs. The third pic is after a clear coat was applied. The sting (Pic 4) is interesting - it's the handle end of a 12" bastard file, and maybe that has just given me an idea for a name for this one.

Daswulf Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Looks great Aus! The snips made great claws. I have a couple of those forks that I had thought look like a good scorpion body but I've been holding off because of another thought of using them as lower jaws for deer heads. I think a name like that would fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 Das, put those two clutch forks together, one reversed above the other and you have the makings if a great crocodile head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Just noticed what's stamped on the piece that makes the stinger, and thought it quite appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olfart Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 It looks so real I want to smack it with a shoe! Good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 JHCC: That's why I chose that particular file. Of course, I could call him Wilt in accordance with Wiltshire on the other side. olf: I think you would do more damage to the shoe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausfire Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Took it along to demos today and could have sold him a dozen times. Guess I'll just have to make more. Not enough hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
