Weasels in the works

I have wanted to create a more realistic weasel than my woosels for a very long time... finally I was inspired to sit down and do it!  As per usual, I did my first prototype in a white synthetic (easy to work with and not too expensive if you muck it up).  Here is Spook in progress:

 

He worked out quite well, has a sweet face and stands on all fours relatively well, without splaying.

 

And here he is finished, free in the garden.  Spook has a wire spine so you can turn his head, pose his tail, bend his back, etc...

 

 

He definitely has a young face.

And now I'm working on a brown version, after altering the pattern a little.  I think I captured the Pine Marten look!!!
