6' and 200 pound man is easily supported by this trusty steed.
Tail section is just hovering and not necessary to support this jocky!

Cast Pelican has titanium white tinting to block damaging Ultra-violet light from resin. "frosty" or powdered surface and mineral filled resin will readily accept a primer and then paints.

Feet are supported by 2 @ 4x4" wood blocks bolted thru with 5 to 6 inches of stainless rod countersunk into bottom.
These wooden "sled skis" should allow easy handling of this 450-500 pound monumental pelican sculpture.

Approximate height is within 1/2" tolerances. this side is right on, other is about 1/4" higher. Smaller tail base and clearance arround foot base should allow room for best placement on building and platform.
