Castle Miniatures Support THANK YOU plus the finished project

[dmcHobbes]

Just wanted to thank Alex of Castle Miniatures for his most recent help. I wanted a Bulldog for a project and CM dog castings are great. I was able to complete my project due to the support from Alex. This was the Bulldog with the Major of 36th Regiment of Foot. I completed the Highlander one a few years ago with equal support. I sent him photos of the completed project and he responded with very kind remarks (I must admit, this stoked my ego as it came from someone in the craft). Thanks again Alex!

Hi Doug

Thanks for pics , great idea , bulldog looks great and the gator rather snappy as well ....where's he come from ?

Is there a back story behind the idea ?

Glad you liked the photos. I made the project for a friend of my wife's, he is a University of Florida Grad (Gators), and one of their biggest sports rivals is the University of Georgia (Bulldogs). Got the "Gator" (really a Nile Crocodile) from MiniNatur by Shapeways 3D print (aware of them due to some postings in PM). The label comes from an old UF saying that may have some unintended negative overtones by current standards so is not used much today. Perked the ears, bulged the eyes and added the jersey to the bulldog. Both were great castings. He appreciated the gift.
