Of Otters and Ducks...

I've been busy trying to get my otter painted for the Dartmoor Otter trail, while decorating the giant plastic ducks for the Grand Norwich Duck Race.
The otter is coming along reasonably well, though his tweed cape thingy is driving me a bit nuts.
Actually, the horse is a bit naff too, but never mind.

The dog is supposed to be the Hound of the Baskervilles, by the way. LOL

The vid shows the bottom part of the otter spinning on his lazy susan

Meanwhile, Captain Duck rogers got his name plate done courtesy of a very ancient Letraset which we think might have been bought pre 1971 by Paul's uncle. It cost 10 shillings and sixpence, so it's certainly pre decimal! And it still worked!

And here's Duck Rogers with his plastic goldfish bowl helment and antenna, which are very badly done with wire, duct tape and glass Christmas baubles.

I tarted this photo up to make him look more fun and spacey!

I still haven't decided what to do about Ductor Who's fez... but on Monday me and Lois are taking our ducks to the park for a photoshoot so perhaps I ought to decide what to do before then!

I think if you can manage that helmet with the antennae, a fez will be a piece of cake. That's an awesome space duck! Also, Hound of Baskervilles looks amazing :D

The antennae haven't worked that well but I'm seeing a friend tomorrow who's become a dab hand with duck tape and she might be able to help me! LOL
