  • Paws for the dinodog comm. There are 88 total pieces for these paws with lots of spot inserting to look forward to.

The harness & chin rest have been installed, location holes for the forehead rest drilled, springs installed, eye recesses drilled out, vision ports smoothed, upper lip installed, and ears built.
