Title: Latest project
Post by: TRKYHTR on July 21, 2012, 04:14:32 PM
I got my freeze dried head in on Thursday. I got my paint out and started bringing it to life. Here is the result. If you want to see the progression go to the turkey taxidermy section. Now I just have to wait on my limb so I can mount the turkey.

Thanks Bill. No I am not a taxidermist. Just dabble a little with it.

Joe, I think it looks great. The paint job on the freeze dried head of my only mount ruins is very disappointing to me, and this looks incredibly realistic. Quite impressive.
