"JORGE BENLLOCH: Now, we are going to start building the support of the head. This piece of plywood, whatever, is a wood cut in this angle or not. We're going to start doing this. We put this in there. And this is going to help constructing the head and also supporting everything later, the head when it's finished. We can pull this out from here and then the head is going to be out by itself and it's self-standing. Okay. That's more or less the structure that we are going to use. We are going to use this, and then the most important thing is to choose the mold. We have no 3D model then you can get some images, some pictures from the eagle. This is not a bald eagle. This is just the eagle but they have very similar features. I got a very good one here that I'm going to follow more or less that one. And then we have other pictures of eagles all over the place. Then from those front and profile pictures, we are going to try to make a 3D head quite that way. Next, we are going to start putting hands on the clay."
