Taxidermy number 4 Sambar stag

[WhelanLad]

I had been delaying the stitching of a sambar for a month now, i knew after doing the red that sambar would be tough an arduous .... i wasnt wrong..

anyway i got to try a new technique to me of using a 'bondo' type filler for the ears.... as opposed to liners. i did so on a set of ears from the weekends harvest.
that was a bonus.

very anxious starting the ears, once done the ears very nervous about the stitching, now in the final stages of tampering with the face as it dries out.

pretty happy with first attempt on the big favourites

cheers

will upgrade pics once dry of all mounts.
