Hello Les here. I have a question for all of you out there. I am building Mamoli's 1/64 Beagle. I am looking for a 1/64th scale beagle to decorate the bow. I have searched high and low. Research has indicated there may or may not have been one. I feel it would be a good addition. It could be a Snoopy or metallic. It's for decoration and a conversation item. I have perused the stock of jewellery stores, places like Micheals and craft supply centres to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thnx.

Look on Amazon under toys and games.  Toy stores sometimes carry a line of resin cast animals.

 

Also try model railroad sites.  S scale model railroads are 1:64 scale.  I recently saw a group of rabbit hunters for sale as model RR scenery.  Two Beagles were included but I don’t remember the scale.

Les,  If you are not set up for carving in wood, some clays are an alternative.  Look at the build log of the Royal Katherine by Doris as she goes into a lot of detail on decorations using clay.

The learn to carve group project that is on this site is an excellent resource to learn carving.  I could not carve prior to coming to this site.

 

I have now successfully carved two figureheads (and multiple other stern type decorations for other projects).
