Really like the base. What a change from the original. Your cat needs a bath. wash him with pert plus and rinse well and put the air to it and get it dry. Dry it clear to the skin to get the loft you need. Something you may have already thought of.... if you put that cat on the wall its looking up and away from you. I would want that cat to be looking right back at me. Your back leg needs to have the skin taxi'ed around to get the lighter fur under the leg more. One last idea, if you can not babysit a piece just wrap it up and freeze it till you can spend the time to keep at it .
Keep on keepin on and enjoy it all.

the two things i noticed has already been discussed. the hind leg is the biggest thing. the fur appears that it needed to be tucked into the manikin more it would line the hair pattern up better. plenty of hide paste will make it slide into place easier. to me that is the hardest part about a lifesize over a shoulder/pedestal mount. like i said though it looks great. i haven't done a bobcat yet, probably going to do my first one in a few weeks.
