    Here is a photo of some cool penguin lawn ornaments. I built them for my mom who's a Pittsburgh Penguins hockey fan. These guys are almost waist high! What a fun project to build! I have more pictures of them here:

    Emperor penguins!! I thought for a moment that they were real!! Gosh you've done a marvelous job on them. I would love to have seen the look on your moms face when she received them. What a wonderful gift to give her. :D

    They are soooooo cute! And soooooo realistic. I love the 3D effect. Wonder how many people stop at her house to make sure they're real or not? :-D

    Cheryl, ain't nobody gonna believe penguins in Texas, so forget that project!
    They are cool lawn ornaments (pun intended) and very well done. Your mother must be so proud and happy, jmarc!
