Today I removed the head from the foam sculpt. The head was removed in order to mount it on a sculptor's tilt table. The tilt table gives me greater leverage. Tomorrow I will begin the clay-up process.

Here is a bird's eye view. Notice I removed a section of the nose. I will sculpt the nose and attach later.
Note how nicely the table tilts.
Here is the headless poodle. The head was removed using a hot-wire tool.
