Evening Ya'll,
Well we had a call about doing a hedgehog so I was looking for ideas on the good old search button as to what to use as a form couldnt seem to find one in the books. Thanks for any help ya'll could past my way.

I have mounted several hedgehogs in the pat and find the best method is to cast the head and do a woodwool bind up for the body. quick easy and cheap
thanks rob.
I skinned the little bugger out with a ventral incision, then I mounted it the old way - cleaned the original skull off, and clayed it up. I used a wrapped excelsor body for the form. They really don't have much of a body to them once they are skinned, they kinda look like a big shrew. They are greasy though, and need to be cleaned fairly well, especially around the quill area.
