Weld up a fox: Sheet Metal Sculpture

Welcome to the world of Pepakura! In this video I will be showing you how to use paper templates to create your very own custom MIG welded sheet metal sculpture! This project took over 50 hours to create and filled up 2 500G hard drives of footage so it would be absolutely amazing if you gave a like, subscribe, and share out on your social media so I can share this sculpture with more people.

Here is a link to the poll on how you would like to see this fox metal sculpture finished...have your say!
