Bighorn Sheep lifesize. Why should we build the Rock scenery now? Art of Taxidermy.

It is important to build the surface that your sheep's hooves are going to be placed on... the reason is that they need to dry to shape... even if you dont want to build the whole scenery, at least you need to build the very surface the legs rods are going to go through the ecenery.
Thanks for watching.

[@ArtofTaxidermy]

Yes, they are pretty cool to work with.

[@marioferreira5525]

Hey Ben do you have a video on how you actually prefab the base for the mannequin before you add the rock material? Thank you

[@ArtofTaxidermy]

Mike , whatever video I had from that project is what you see here. In fact outside of KZbin these videos don’t exist anymore either. All deleted due to lack of room in n memory drives. But here is how I did it,,, I held the form up in the air to the position it’s supposed to be on a spike stand through the belly. Then I build the wooden frame under the feet and do all the adjustment before I cover it with rock material. Hope this makes sense.
