In this short video, paleo sculptor Gary Staab documents all the steps required to a life-size bronze mammoth (Link to YouTube). The piece was commissioned by the Omaha Zoo.

Awesome! I knew Gary from 20 years ago, when we were both working on Disney’s Dinosaur feature film. Gary was sculpting maquettes of some of the characters. Great guy, and a superb artist. It's nice to see what he has been up to lately.
The process for sculpting this Mammoth looks challenging enough, but the molding/casting/re-assembly aspect is insane. Fascinating video, thanks for sharing.
Great! At the end we just see the sculpture. Its amazing how much work it takes! It reminds me of a sculpture of a kodiak bear that Nick Bibby did. Here is the whole process :

Fascinating and spectacular, but also mystifying. I'll follow up that super croc link for the wordy version!
