After marrying the horns up to the sculpture, I realised they needed re-shaping and the main horn needed to be thinner, so with a little bit of trimming and adjustment, the horns were born!
I then proceeded to weld spigots onto the head for the horns to slot onto to hold them in place. All they need now is a little more drilling and then they should fit on a treat!
The body has been built up with more metal and the head stabilised with bridging steel work to carry the weight of the horns and a tail from chain has also been attached, which i will tack weld to give a better form and character.
The next mission is ears, I will be using thin mild steel sheet for this and I shall contact my friend who is a fabricator to play with plasma cutters and benders
...ears to be continued...
