Thanks! I just remembered you asked me about a stingray a while back. I talked with the instructor and he said it would be the easiest to cast a reproduction. It's do-able for sure, but would be a lot of costs in materials.

Thank you The links are below.

Yep, I posted a fox squirrel and a gray squirrel that I did last fall. I think I posted the fish I did as well, but I can't remember that far back... Next, I'm going to learn how to stuff ducks.

I have a beautiful gray fox that I'm working on now. The poor thing fell out of a tree and broke it's neck! After that I have a raccoon that my uncle-in-law brought me.

I prefer skin mounts over reproductions as well.

Default Fox and Duck

The fox I mentioned in an earlier post and a mallard I did for Jeb0823. The fox still needs some detail work and the base/habitat is still under construction, but for the most part the mounting work is done.

Next is a raccoon.
