That's a nice boy for Zim. Can't wait to see the completed work!

Beautiful lion! I'm curious about what the little things on the paws are for?
 
Wow! That is one good looking (and wild) lion! Zim lions seem to keep their manes, by and large.
 
Could be his cousin, there is a likeness.

Doesn't that just make you want to hunt a Lion? :)
 
Brick it was taken in the Sengwa Research area. Don't know of that's anywhere near the national parks.
 
Bsums ......To hold the detail in the tendons and ligaments in the paws we use rope, it holds the skin tight to the form as the glue sets.
 
Great looking cat
 
Stunning work, excellent!
 
Is that the same lion that you posted the mold of a couple weeks ago that was the size of a pony?? I think that was a Zim lion as well. You do incredible work- great looking cat.
 
This one here , this gives you an idea on the size of this Zim beast...BTW I'm 6'1" and 195lbs.

Dennis, if possible, please post a pic of him now that he has the skin on with you standing next to him again for size comparison again. He is definitely a hoss.
