This blog will cover my Rhodesian Ridgebacks & Lion bronze work-in-progress clay sculpture. I will use Chavant NSP hard - to sculpt the dogs and lion. Once the clay composition is completed molds will be fabricated in order to produce the wax positives for the foundry work. The goal is to have this bronze composition completed in 2010. The bronze will consist an African male lion fending off 2 Rhodesian Ridgebacks.

The Rhodesian Ridgeback origins
In the earlier parts of its history, the Rhodesian Ridgeback has also been known as Van Rooyen's Lion Dogs, the African Lion Hound or African Lion Dog—Simba Inja in Ndebele, Shumba Imbwa in Shona—because of their ability to distract a lion while awaiting their master to make the kill.
The original breed standard was drafted by F.R. Barnes, in Bulawayo, Rhodesia (today known as Zimbabwe), in 1922. Based on that of the Dalmatian, the standard was approved by the South African Kennel Union in 1926.
