Other side
This is where I started adding pieces together. Legs and midsection.

Adding his head...
Then carving it, shaping the body, prepping it for more additions
Brought it indoors where it was warm, glue doesn't like to dry in freezing temps. Got it ready to add the arms
Shoulders attached
Forearms and claws...
Carved the tail section and got it ready to connect
Connected
Now shaped and ready for detailing

Torched it
Sanded it down a bit, all ready for varnish.
