I'm not sure if I can model it or not. I know I can do it the low tech way (wax or clay) but I've never tried computer modeling before. It would be more convenient if I could computer model it as its not convenient for me to make a physical model right now. Is there a 3D package that mimics sculpting tools? So far I've seen recommendations for Max and Houdini.

I was hoping to get it to a wax point and then have a lost wax cast done. I'm not sure if it could be successfully sand cast due to the undercuts around the bird's head.
