10/6/2011 - Finally up! Here's a picture! Check out more final pictures later in the thread. What do you think?

I worked on this some time ago and now I need to get it finished. Been too busy working on my mine cart. There are a few more things to cut and paint to make it all connect.

Oh, and it WILL stand up - I just laid it out with one of each bone, but I made it fully 3D

Cant wait to see this done. Was this drawn freehand or a pattern? Do you have pics of your mine cart? I know ,I know so many questions.........
I am making a new mine cart myself this year as the old one finally fell apart.

So, I took a diagram of a horse skeleton from online and put it into photoshop on a 4x8 grid to make sure they could all fit on the plywood I bought. Then with that grid laid out in 1 foot square blocks drawn onto the plywood, I free-handed the pieces in pencil and cut it with a jigsaw. Relatively easy, honestly.

My minecart build is here: My Mine Cart - In Progress

I'd love to see your mine cart as well. Do you have pictures? (perhaps the best place to reply to that question is on the other thread )

Oh now this is pure original and way cool! Cant wait to see where this goes.

Thanks, Gris. Stole the idea, so I can't take credit - but I do like how my implementation is turning out. I'll keep you posted.

Great idea! Looks super, so far!

When you're done are you going to BEAT it??

Nice, Dave...

And yes, yes I will.

Nice! What is the ribcage made out of?
