baby porcupine form

Submitted by Smith on 8/19/05 at 2:58 AM. ( ) 66.58.210.77

I just got a baby porcupine to do,it is maybe 12" from nose to base of tail. I was wondering if anyone had seen a form that small anywhere I know i havn't. Or if there was any better option besides a carcass cast to get an acurate form. Thanks for the help.

Either buy some excellsior and wrap the body like we used to in the old days or carve a piece of foam - which is easier .Rick


Wrapped is good.

Had the same problem. Laid out the skin and wrapped the body until it fit,then did the legs the same,installed wires,used clay to fill the feet,used the back half of a woodduck body for the head,shaped it,cut a lip line,nose,eyes (used 11 mm drk brwn duck eyes), and it looked great,try it, you'll like it,lol.


thanks
