What's on your workbench?

Nice thanks brazosboyt. Ribs looks great

 

A ringer I just put together, buddy of mine wants him mounted to the barrel of one of his shotguns...should be interesting

 

Oh my! I love that ringbill. Nice job!!

 

I wrestled this thing around the workbench all day. I am tired, and i bagged him up to tweak it tomorrow. Lots of work....cut apart a bobcat form and re-assembled it as a housecat.

 

Brazosboyt, that looks awesome. The Whistler's not bad either..
Duck Norris, That ringneck is very nice. I can imagine it blowing by me before I get my gun up.

 

Just curious, Adam, why didn't you wrap it? Your wrapped critters look great and have given me lots of inspiration!
Cat looks pretty good, I think, though the front arms look like they are too far forward. I tried one that came out so bad, I considered submitting it to one of those bad taxidermy sites. I've got 2 more roadkill cats in my freezer I plan to try out soon. One thing for sure, they will be better than the last one.

 

Story of my life as I get older!....can't find things right in front of me. Here are the heads for one of my Corpus Christi accounts.....yep, forgot one!

Love all the pics being posted!

 

I was going to do it as a wrapped mount or a carcass cast, but for whatever reason I decided I needed a challenge. The bobcat form I used was fairly close in measurements anyway and just needed bulk added to it and to shorten the legs a bit. It was a huge cat. It was probably pushing 20 pounds, most of which was in 1/2" of fat along the sides and belly. Gross. I learned one thing from the whole ordeal and that is whatever you think you are going to charge for a domestic, charge more. They are a LOT of work. Especially when the owner doesn't supply you with pictures of the animal because they have none.

 

Finally got a little free time to work on these two beautys. Lots of missing feathers.

 

hey adam im sure there is a big market for them as targets at the rifle range if the owner doesnt want it but i like um alive......
i like um running...........daniel ;D ;D

 

Did another Lil tweetie for my own case today

 

The only thing worst than rushing to complete a mount for a show is finding out I can't go. This would have been my first competition.

 

That's a hellava case Capercaille..very impressive!

 

Immature pinfeathery snow...Had enough feathers to create another goose..lol...

 

Nate...thats whats waiting in my freezer for you....havent had time to get to post office for a mon ship

 

hey Capercaille.. i love it very impressive..... 8) 8) daniel

 

Great box full of boids, capercaille!

 

good job my friend kostas!!

 

Hi all, I now have a lot of work, so little time on the internet.
Bransboyt, I love your ducks, I'm just happy when you show your work.
Babak, your progress is striking, keep it up! Do not stop there.
And that's what I did today, at least began to make small birds lose Skill

 

Oh , one more
