First Traditional Squirrel (Critique Please?) HWY Fox Squirrel MIRACLE! lol.

[Kay Raynewolfe]

Well, here goes! This is a fox squirrel I started with a salvage/hwy fox squirrel (legal in my state) and a form from my mentor... I will update as it progresses. UPDATE: All that remains is habitat/basework if desired!

The squirrel specimen...


Finished Product(-habitat):










Skinned:


After putting on the form and pinning etc:

Looks good so far but you should not need so many pins.

I went for a really lazy half asleep look in the eyes. The extra pins there are helping hold the wrinkles. In the mouth I just wasnt sure everything would stay with just tucking. :-) There was some extra damage to the mouth from this being a highway squirrel.

Thanks for the input, I will try for closeups of the eyes when I pull the pins too!

Well, here he is. Other than a base/habitat. :-) Im not displeased. He was fun to do and many said it was impossible!
