The bodies are copper and the heads steel.

Ok... WOW!!! Speechless... incredible!

Oooh NICE, I like them.

Frosty The Lucky.

That is really classy work. Magnificent!

WOW. WOW. Super nice.

Wow!!!  

Awesome work, wow!

Very nice work and layout. What is the backing piece? 

The simple element of the division at the bottom of the backing really adds depth and defines the water. Well done. 

Are the heads  solid? That would get pretty heavy. If you don't mind my asking how are they attached to the copper body?

The head is just hammered out sheet metal and welded to the body. The backing piece is nice stone that was left over from the building. The ducks are life sized. I've been thinking about making a life sized eagle but that'd be a lot of work and I'd want to have a buyer lined up.

I sure hope you get that opportunity and post it here. Thanks for sharing this. 

 

Wow those are awesome!!

Wow. Outstanding. I have looked thousands of Ducks in the eye - I raised them for a time - three thousand at a time, from day-old to fully fledged. Your creatures exude the spirit of the Duck, and evoke some fine memories for me. Splendid.

Now I want duck. Anyone have any sauce a l'orange?

No but I have a couple packets of duck sauce from the Chinese takeout place. 

If you save enough soy sauce packets, you can use it as quenchant.

Some WIP pictures.

Absolutely quacker. A honking great success. I'm sure you'll get a right few bills for that! 

 

That is stunning work.  Thanks for sharing.  

Oh, how did you get the patina?  Did you roll water right off the back end of them?

Excellent work, looks awesome in copper.

I read all replies so as to not be repetitive, and I've settled on the term EXQUISITE. I greatly appreciate the simplicity and the attention to detail. Kudos!

Beautiful. If those were displayed in my yard they would end up full of bird shot holes within a week...

Incredible work.  Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful work!  Thanks for sharing
