Styrofoam poodle rough cut for armature second phase

Today I began to remove the excess foam in order to get closer to Tracker's confirmation. I first used a felt marker to scribe my cutting lines. The process will take several passes before it begins to look like a poodle.

I used a hot-wire hand tool. It is like cutting butter. The fumes are the part I dislike. Yes, I used two fans to aid with the ventilation.

The Styrofoam dog will look more like a block dog for now, but with every pass it receives it will fine tune the desired proportions.

Here Tracker looks more like big bird, but this is normal. The next two phases will get him looking more like a poodle.
