Casting a rabbit

I need a rabbit for the HC. How's that for a hint?!! 
I have a lovely wood rabbit I bought back in 2012 from artbase on etsy, but I don't want to alter the original for my purpose.
Using EasyMold Silicone Putty, I made a mold of the rabbit. I'm using Alumilite Amazing Casting Resin, my first time using an opaque resin. I followed the directions exactly, and it turned out well considering my original mold was not that great. The resin is sandable, and I did not want to start over. This cast worked well for my purpose since it looked more hand carved than the original.
The instructions recommended painting right away, but the acrylic brown I used did not want to stick. I washed the paint off and then used a spray primer. The paint adhered to the primer without issue. Pretty great for a maiden voyage, and it works well for my purposes.
