@Grinchy ... when have you seen me in the morning ? 
Truly fantastic work.  SFX an art in themselves.  Doff my cap to you

@Pandapaws ... wow.  So lifelike it's like you could stroke the screen.  (Cats hate me so I won't ) Brilliant stuff.  Mancun cat ?

Thanks so much @Sandy_123

@WelshBlue thank you 😊 that was a good guess, I have 2 mainecoon cats myself, but this one I did is of a Siberian forest cat.

So i thought i'd show a couple of in progress  pics from a sculpture i created around 15 years ago of michael Jackson from Thriller, i wanted to recreate the first time we see him as the zombie, so got stuck in, using water based clay, first pic is the reference shot i used


next is the clay sculpture without the zombie brow added, tried to get a likeness first


next with the eyebrow ridge added


next i made a two part plaster mould of the sculpture which i then used to make the finished rubber and foam display bust

Grinchy

thank you @Beaver79 appreciate it

Brilliant @Grinchy I remember being at a dance school where we dressed up as much as we could like Michael Jackson knew all the dance steps at the time, brings back great memories of thriller.
