Or better still, by carving one of foam.

Hi, I mounted a pair of swimming muskrats recently!  I "wrapped" they bodies.  Always works the best for me, never used a form on anything I have mounted.

I would carve the head from foam and wrap the body.
Great work Kelly.

What did you do to their back feet.

Heck, casting will certainly work,but thanks to a guy named Ken Walker, I found that carving them allows more flexibility. Casting one limits you to a single form and pose.  Carving is limited only by your imagination.
