I just realized I never show you guys the finished tortoise, lmao.

At the end, it took me an entire month. He's almost 20 cm large (it was supposed to be 15 cm tho) and, even thought I'm pretty proud of how it looks, I am not satisfied with the accuracy.

Having fun so far, working on this Sulcata Tortoise. I've been doing A LOT of research because I do not know much about them so I hope this turns out fine 😬

Nope, I just leave a long piece of wire without wool and secure it to the body with a strong glue.

Thank you!! And yes! I use thin copper wire, covered with wool and glue to do the legs when they're not "hairy". Then I use hairspray to set it. Hope this helps 🙌🏻
