Wrapping Plaster Wire Around Stomach

Today we had to finish plastering the body of the raptor.  The only part left to plaster of the body was the stomach.  We felt that it was hard to stick the plaster on upside-down so, we cut strips of plaster of about 4 feet long so we could wrap it around as you see below.

Plaster Craft ------ Day 2

Today we continued wrapping the plaster craft on the raptor body.  This week we accomplished putting plaster craft on the bottom of the torso of the raptor and putting a second coat on the top of the torso, head, and arms.  We thought it looked even better today because when the plaster craft dried it felt hard and looked easier to paint on.

Plaster Craft

Last week we started putting on the plaster craft.  Afterm we cut the plaster craft into strips of about one foot, we wood soak them in a bucket of water.  Then we would stick them on the raptor.  We completed the head, claws, top of the torso, and the tail.  We felt that it was starting to look like a real raptor.
