WING"TIPS" #18 artificial and real skull attachment

[wingman]

Hello again, long time no post I thought I would try to put up a wingtip as time allowed for it. The following pics show neck? head junction attachments with real skulls and artificial heads The real head pics are a pheasant and the fake head a mallard. I allow room for the neck to ''insert'' into the brain cavity and when ready I fill with hot glue or bondo. The photos showing the neck junction on the mallard also show how to prevent glue from getting on the head/neck feathers by simply punching a hole in a paper towel , inserting the neck through it, and then doing the attachment, it just acts as a ''bib''. I am doing another wingtip soon with these two birds showing a quick method for filling out the cheeks/wattles on a mallard and pheasant. Once again the pics tell way better than I can type out in words. GOOD LUCK!!

  wingman do you set your eye's when using the skull  from outside the skin. or do you set them  from the inside. before inverting the head.  lee...

Lee, I usually set them after the bird is positioned BUT it depends on what mode i'm in as I do occasionally set some before hand such as raptors or birds with light colored eyes.

Wingman I was wondering if you turn your pheasants right side out to wash and dry and turn inside out again to insert the skull.
