I have a question and would like some opinions. I know all about opinions but i am curious anyway. lol I am planning on doing a rtaccoon for an upcoming show and will be using a custom form that i will carcass cast. The question i have is what incision would you use? The raccoon will be going down hill. I normally use a dorsal cut but am considering either a case insicion or a ventral/belly cut? I think since the leggs will be cast seperate i could get away with a small ventral cut and assemble the form back together after placing the legs and body inside the skin? Any reccomendations or comments? either reply here or email me. thanks guys.

It would hide the stitches better in the long thick fur of the back and neck, and you will be able to get the legs and peice the body in the skin better as well.
