This will be my first attempt at doing such small skunks. (7/8" x 8" x 5 1/4") What I'm wondering is has anyone used chipmunk or red squirrel forms on these little guys? The measurements match up pretty close.
I'm gonna give it a try. Anyone have any input?

My grand daughter and I recently worked on a young skunk this size and we used s squirrel form with the approximate measurements (as close as we possibly could find) in a pose that was consistant with what was natural for that skunk to be doing. When we skinned it out, we laid the body with head attached out so we could best match the body to the squirrel form. Where differences were evident, we either did a little shaving or did a little extra padding and the little guy turned out great! You just have to do your best to do a little creative sculpting.
