Bitzer from Shaun the Sheep modelled from Silk Clay and Foam Clay

1 Make the legs by cutting a pipe cleaner into two equal parts. Double them over in the middle and twist them around themselves to make them more stable.

2 Push the legs into a polystyrene egg and attach the wooden feet to the pipe cleaners.

3 Model Silk Clay around the polystyrene egg, the legs and the feet. Do not attach Silk Clay underneath the feet to keep the figure stable.

4 Model a neck.

5 Model Bitzer's head from Silk Clay.

6 Leave the body and the neck to dry slightly before attaching the head, thus avoiding squeezing the body. Use a small blob of fresh Silk Clay for attaching the head onto the neck.

7 Model the nose from black Silk Clay and gently press it onto the head.

8 Attach self-adhesive googly eyes.

9 Make the mouth using a modelling tool.

10 Model ears from brown Silk Clay and attach them onto the head.

11 Make Bitzer's hat from blue Foam Clay, modelling it into a semi circle. Model a collar from black Silk Clay.

12 Attach the hat, the collar and the arms. Make details on the paws using a modelling tool.

13 Model a tail from Silk Clay and attach it to the body.
