Man, you can crank them out, and still hold the quality. How many arms you got? (LOL)

I post these for you to look at, and I thank you for the compliments....., But what I'm trying to get across to most beginners or those doing African is......
Airbrushing will make or break your mount, also everything should look SOFT to the touch,,,
So if your were to touch it it "would BE SOFT" ,tho it isn't, just like live animal tissue.
Every edge I have on any form on any mount, every lip slot,tear duct, or roll has CLAY on it , in it, or around it.
If you are just gluing your skin to a hard form you won't get soft.

And they say plain old yellow dextrine glue isn't any good?Huh

That kudu is great. I mean it actually looks like what kudu "LOOK" like. I know that sounds obvious but most kudu mounts I've seen don't capture the essence of what they really look like. Methinks Larry Bloomquist could learn a thing or two from you. I don't care much for the mount he's created in the last two Breatkthrough magazines. I mean it's a nice enough mount, but it is also exactly what I'm describing as "NOT" capturing the essence of what kudu really look like. You sir have created a great mount that is also very artistic as well. Kudos on your kudu!
