I recently molded this deer for a taxidermist friend in Michigan turned out really nice it grosses over 200 inches. one of the mass measurements is over 15 inches because of the palmation,  Really neat rack. Feel free to comment.

I use Rtv- Rubber and fiberglass mother mold for molding and I mix my own casting material, I will guarantee it to never yellow or change color.  I use polyester resin with fillers to achieve proper weight of cast and a bone look. There are tons of fillers on the market. You will have to mess around and find what you like. I very seldom use the same recipe depends on what Im casting and the weight and strength Im trying to achieve..  Thanks to all for the compliments!!

Thanks for all the complements I used oil paint to paint this set. I have been experimenting with acrylic though, Just haven't been real happy with results.  Thanks again!!
