New Maoi castings - Tiki Carving

For me, they 'seem' so simple to carve, but I have always been unhappy with my Maoi carvings. But I finally got one that I am pretty happy with... at least I think its much better than my last one. I graphed this one out on a front view and side view, but it still ended up different than what I was hoping for... but still happy with it. This one is the original. I am casting and pushing to do three duplicates. I included some pics of the first cast that is almost done now. And that is my dog Seiji next to the Maoi. Thanks Scott Below, I had to cast in two seperate pieces as I had undercut issues. Head and body glassed together in a second step. metal stud frame installed within the hallow cast to fasten to wall.
