Very cute... had to click and enlarge to make sure it was not actually a shot of your daughter pug.

Beautiful. Love the details. I agree with Shawn, very realistic.

yes I agree. You've done really good shading, which is hard to do. I also enlarged the photo to check like Shawn. keep us updated on how the body goes.

Thank you for your comments! I'm working on a moving jaw( my first ). Wish me luck. I hate working with lead. Is there a less toxic weight?

I've tried using regular washers before and in some cases it can work, it is just that since they are not soft you can't reform them and you need a lot more to get the same results. Sometimes there is just not enough space.
Now all that being said I did Google the subject and guess what? There are lead free fishing tackle. Go figure! http://www.leadfreefishingtackle.com/ I have no idea how they compare, but hey can't hurt to try right?
