woolybear Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 You keep getting better and better Kels. You can say that again! Kels do you cast your own habitats from another material or is that a real rock base on that rabbitt. Kinda wondering about your carrotts too. Hand crafted or store bought.

sluggunner Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Sweet work! I like them all, kind of hard to pick a favorite as they are all really done well. I always wanted to try doing a rabbit, I heard their skins tear really easy making them very difficult to mount. Is that true? Also how hard was it to do the ears on the rabbit, did you use the bondo method? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kels Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Thanks everyone! I like doing life size coyotes, but the shoulder mounts take up less space...and these two yotes were really rotten in the belly. Just didnt want to mess this that. As for the habitat base, I did it myself. Its actually a big hunk of foam that is cut and sanded down to the shape I wanted. Than I put a layer of brown paint on it and let it dry. Next step...Paint on a layer of elmers glue and pour real sand and dirt on it. pat it down a little bit and let it dry. Final step....mix up 50% water and %50 glue and use a pray bottle to coat the top of the dirt and sand. It seals it in and looks great! I was going to make my own carrots...but found these ones at the craft store. Chopped off the tops and "planted" them in the base. And yes!!! rabbits are tough to do! they have skin like tissue paper. The hardest part for me was skinning around the legs and down the toes. I wouldnt tell anyone not to try doing one..they are good practice. Just take your time!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTF Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 And yes!!! rabbits are tough to do! Just take your time!! Ditto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 They all look great. I can imagine about the rabbits, I sure know how easy they are to clean, so they gotta be real tough to skin out without tearing it all up. :clap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
