Very nice. You will become addicted to this! I started casting because I end up with so many babies and juveniles (road kills) I find 'relaxed' poses easier to cast. On positions that are 'in motion' you need to add muscle tension back in with clay or mache.

Thanks for the compliments  Cheesy I made the tongue from a little bit of apoxy sculpt.  I can already see the addiction forming Wink  It was a lot of fun doing this one, and I've got a couple more casting projects waiting in the freezer.  Hopefully I've learned a bit from the mistakes made with this one.

Heres a hint...when molding frozen parts that will melt & slump before yor silicone sets up. Do as you normally do but let it cure in the freezer. Takes longer but delicate irems like small tongues will hold their shape.
