I never thought I would be able to do this. I'm not a painter or a sculptor. But for some reason the material was perfect for me and I found it quite easy to shape it the way I liked.
So even though it's expensive to have it made in bronze I'm glad I did it.

When you're finished find a professional who can make your statue into a mall and then make a bronze statue of it.
