With the unbearable Texas heat right now, it has chased me from my shop. Thus I decided to work on another bronze sculpture I’ve been thinking about. It is a replica of a cape buff bull I killed last year in Zim. It’s standing in shallow water about to head out, or at something . After taking a few pics last night, I see I still need to work on the ears and one hoof but it’s 95% done. It’s in clay and will have to be molded before a bronze can be poured.
 
Oops. picture got hung up on phone I guess. My cell service is crap today. I'll try again.

Just kidding. ;) Very much looking forward to seeing it.
 
That is awesome! I look forward to seeing it finished! You are talented Sir!
 
Fantastic!
 
This is talent in its purest form. Ever given any thought to making multiple to sell?
I would of course but this is only my sixth attempt. I don’t have much of a catalog :giggle:.
 
I appreciate the kind words and encouragement. It’s really a budding hobby at this point.
 
Thanks guys. I'm letting it sit a few more days to see if anything else hits me on it before I take it to be molded for the bronze process. I added texture to his nose and a few small wrinkles behind his nose pad. Also beefed up his upper lip line to give it more sag over the lower lip. A wise man once told me, "You have to live with it being finished at some point or it will never be finished" :)

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
