Heres a life size eagle that i made from stainless steel...

Wow .. that’s a lot of feedback

Ill try and and answer all the questions you asked here, and everyone who left a comment, thankyou you’ve said a lot of really lovely stuff.

If you would like to see it, its going to be at the Mall Galleries in London from 2nd – 6th june, as I entered it into the David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year competition/exhibition (theyre offering 10k for the top prize so wish me luck!) And then if it doesn’t sell im sending it down to ‘The Sculpture Park’ in Churt in Surrey.

I used loads and loads of photos, plus I was totally eagle obsessed as a child, and drew them all the time.
I found some eagle wing and tail plans in a book so I made tham first. Then I started at the beak and built through the face chest and legs…only it wasn’t quite that smoothe, I had to remake alot of it as sometimes I only get my head around how a shape should be once ive done it all wrong first.

The eyes are one of those stainless steel spheres that they use in garden water features that I chopped up and welded onto it

Its got a wingspan of 235cm which is about as big as eagles come, though everyone who sees it says that it looks a bit larger than than life.

My estimate on the time is about1000-1100 hours.

I used Stainless rods that are 2 – 4mm diameter, so they bend by hand quite easily, and all the joins are done with a mig welder which fuses the wires together.

im trying to sell it for £12,500 which covers the time and the materials etc

I like how it looks outdoors, it hangs under a tree in the garden at the moment. I guess someone could put it indoors if they’ve got a big house..
