"O.k. now that I've got front end of this guy going; I'm going to go and put these back flippers on. So I'm going to go and find the head again; find the two sides here where they should be good. That looks good; all slippy, scratchy and just attach them like, don't mess around too much with them just get them on there so you can see what's going on. When all this is all on, then you can go back and it'll all set up even more by then too; so you can just go back and really start refining all these little things because you don't want to refine it while you're attaching it because right now we're attaching it, we're not refining it. You have to have an idea of the overall piece. If you have an idea in your head about the overall piece you can always just stop and look at that; you don't, you don't; it doesn't need to happen right in front of you, it'll happen at the end if that makes sense. You want to visualize your piece. And now finding the other back flipper in relation to this one, o.k. And kind of look at it; feel the flipper, it's totally a flipper; alright. And that one is definitely a flipper and those flippers are lined up. Now we want to put the cute little tail on it these things have, alright. See, it's missing its little tail so I'm going to show you how to do that. Right now you just take it; just make a little pointy thing going on here and you don't want too much sticking off of this guy because he's going to be going in and out of cupboards and stuff so you just want a little tail. They don't really have to big of tails anyway. Find the head; there we go, we'll scratch; we'll slip, find the head it's got to be exactly where the tail is and then scrawl that little guy right under there; boop, there. Now we're ready to do some refining; make this guy look pretty."
