I skin out most of the one's I will mount life sized woth a dorsal cut. Thats from the lower back up to the base of the skull. right up the back. I then make a small cut from the feet up to the knees or so to hel pinvert the feet. You can just pull the animals skin on the form just like a sock then.


Don't cut into the pads

especially if you want to have them visible like in a laying or jumping pose. Stop your cut about 1 inch above the pad. Makes for better looking feet in the end.
