Complete novice, help me make a memorial!

Hi all, complete noob question here from someone with no experience in 3D printing. My cat recently passed away, and I’m keen to make a life sized bronze statue of her. I’ve read that you can make a printable 3D model from photos, and I’m exploring if this is a reasonable option. So my idea is:

1. Take a bunch of old photos of her and plug them into some sort of 3D photo software engine to generate a model. These would be standard cellphone pics taken on a reasonably recent phone, but they are NOT taken for this purpose, it’d be a large collection of more or less random pictures, from random angles, distances, poses, etc. I also have videos if this is helpful in any way.
2. Get (or create) a 3D model of a Siamese / Oriental cat, possibly using a cellphone 3D “scanning” app.
3. Overlay step 1 from the neck up on step 2, andtidy up (in Blender???)
4. Pay someone to print this in bronze.

So my uninformed questions are:

1. Is all of the above feasible? Especially the creation of a model of her head using old photos.
2. Is all of this something a hobbyist can potentially do, or would I need to hire someone to do all the software / modelling work?
3. Are there any resources for an existing 3D Siamese cat model?
4. Does anyone have a very general idea of how much it’d cost to pay someone to print a (small) life sized cat in bronze?
5. Does anyone know of any examples of a 3d model made from existing photos? I'm curious how well they turn out.

Thanks very much for any help and advice you might be able to offer.

first.
You don't print the head/cat in bronze.

You either print it in pla or wax and use a traditional 'lost wax' method to do the bronze casting.

The other approach would be to sculpt the head in wax and use the same casting method.

You can print a cat's head in a plastic that looks like bronze.
You can even prinjt it in a material that has a lot of bronze powder in it.
That takes a lot of post processing (well elbow grease anyway)- but you can get models to look like bronze.
Becazuse the bronze is just being used as a texturising and colouring agent - the print itself is very soft and not perticularly strong.
But it can look a lot like bronze.

So that side of things is the easy bit.

Getting a 3d model from a group of random images - all different sizes and exposures - that's not going to be easy.
There might be something new out there that could do it - but if so I've yet to hear of it.

You're best bet would probably be a local sculptor who's used to doing animals from photos.
