Have any of you folks used McKenzies Cast lip & nose for open mouth fox or coyote? If so what do you think of it?

I've used several of them on other species

Great time saving device that insures that you get a professional look in a hurry. You still have to shave the skin very VERY thin to make the transition and use Apoxie putty judiciously, but a great idea. They didn't think of it, but they sure have a nice selection across the board.

Thanks

Again George, I think I will try one.

I hope they make one for wolves soon enough

Coyotes look nice. The cast nose are not big enough.

George is right.
They did'nt think that up. They are good for comercial type work.
Not nearly accurate for any competition though. They could have been made more accurate but by & large they do what they are supposed to do. The ones we had in the studio 25 years ago were very nice, but not made through the injection mold process.Alot of things said to be "new" & inovative were done long ago by unknown artist's with
great success .It was just not known by many in the business & that was a secret in most places.
