aeon.rocks Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Nice crab, curious how you will solve the cave in problem, but I guess you have two options; prep the claws free-standing or fill in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilized6s Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Wonderful job, RB. I like how it's splayed out, almost like a spider. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Thanks everybody. I can honestly say that this crab has been my biggest challenge to date. Lots more work than I could have anticipated and lots more hours than any other crab of this species that ive done, but in the end, it was well worth it. Now,,, on to the next project.
