Went better than I thought. What do ya think? Wanted to incorperate a couple sheds in there- too bad they weren't his but they made the perfect display rack at just the angle I was looking to achieve. Probably had 6 hrs total into it maybe a little more.   |

Thanx guys! Few things I learned by screwing up that I'll correct on the next one. May even shave a little time off the process. I could have done better( taken more care) on the skinny nose bones. Should have added the dishsoap to de- grease while simmering in the pot. Had a yellowish tint bleading through the already peroxided skull and had to take a step back. Should have remembered the brains were still in there when I thought I was about done! (wifey took care of the brain pudding LOL!)  Basically, I did everything twice . The second time getting all the steps in the right order. But hey, I'm a guy- and you all know how we are with directions! ;D |

looks great and the base is awesome.to handle the yellowing you can paint the skull white.I also use a quick spray of krylon clearcoat to prevent any further damage and make it shiny

Yeah Joel I got the yellowing under control so probably gonna pass on the white paint but I see alot of them done that way. Also seen some pretty wild bronzed euros on taxidermy.net. www.taxidermy.net/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=dc63e2c28c49d659bbc2172f5db56935&topic=134293.0Living in a house full of smokers I think I'm gonna go with the clear coat for easy clean up. You have no idea how hard it was to find 2 sheds that fit right and didn't look like they'd been stored in a Bingo hall. |
