Once the glue had dried I welded up a 1/4" pencil rod armature for the frog sculpt.
Then I used some Abracadabra Sculpting epoxy to work up the rough shape of the frog. Tomorrow I'll do a second layer with all of the detailed work.

Ribbit - part two
Today I used the plasma cutter to cut a fancy bracket plate for the Ribbit sign. Sone 1" x 2" square tubing goes from this plate into the middle layer of the sign. A 5/8" steel rod is welded to the top and bottom of this tubing and they protrude out the top to hold up the frog and through the bottom to weld onto a curved piece of tubing which acts as a reinforcement to make the bracket even stronger. One never knows when some tough guy might decide to do a chin up on the sign.
