It's a 4' X 8' Shopbot PRSStandard. It's a really nice CNC, it has replaced many of the original tools in the shop.

Great job! I built 3 bonedeer back in 2011 and looks like we used the same drawings.

What are you going to use for a coating? I used Styroplast from Hot Wire Foam factory and it was pretty good to work with. It created a hard shell over the foam, was sandable and easy to paint.

Very cool! Working with foam. Im planning on a couple simple props with foam. I picked up a big sheet and will experiment with it soon.

After many trials, he is finished. Here he is on the porch next to Jack.

I consider him a prototype as he didn't turn out as I wished. At several points I was about to abandon the project and destroy the project but the wife and kids kept me coming back to patch him up.

I've reworked the models in Cad to that I can just CNC molds and cast out the parts for next year.

He looks great!
