Been working on it a little lately. Getting the shooter's shape just right, the bear is coming along and thinking about the scene set up. I'll post more pics soon.

I started working on the base. Got the foam pieces glued up yesterday. Been working a bit on the shooter too and playing with the staging the figures to see how and where it all fits.

I started shaping the base on a slant with sandpaper then covered the glue joints before I start covering with strips of newspaper then tissue paper before adding the finishing touches. I'll post more pics soon.

That’s going to be awesome Pat

It’s sure to be popular with the raffle.

Got more done. Shaped the foam base(beach) and covered it with newspaper strips then started staging the scene. I'm sure it will change somewhat between now and the finished product. The bow is Pacific yew...

...more to come...

You are making some head way Pat, looking sweet.

It's slow work anyway waiting for glue to dry before moving on to the next step but it is fun watching it all come together.
Save up your nickels, Pappy. I'll put in a good word for you with the ladies at the raffle table.

This is so cool, Pat, and I love all the process pics. Even in its current form, thinking about arrowing a griz at that range gets my heart pumping just a little bit...

Thanks, WB. It is a process and I wanted to show it step by step. My wife is an artist and specializes in paper mache and other mixed media so she is my advisor. She is very good at perspective and proportions as far as the figures go.
That would be a scary situation to be in. In the picture I'm using as a guide the shooter has a guy standing behind him with a gun but even that would be scary.
