How to skin a horse

Today we skinned a horse. We didn't removed his hide however - we added it. Peter did the bulk of the work, first applying a thick coat of fiberglass-reinforced-concrete. I had sculpted the teeth and tongue using sculpting epoxy yesterday.

Once the mud had set to the perfect consistency it was time to begin the carving. Jenessa gave Peter a hand by carving the bulk of the hair - no small task.

The end result was pretty cool. It's going to look even better when painted.
