How to make a taxidermy manikin myself…?
My brother is trying out taxidermy on the squirrels he gets from hunting. The only problem is that most of the time the squirrel is too big/small for the manikin he has. So he has to spend time either adding/removing parts of the manikin he ordered. He was wondering if anyone has any idea how to just make one yourself from the body of the squirrel. To make a mold and then fill it in. If you’ve never personally tried it perhaps you’d have an idea as to what to use to fill in the mold once it was made. Remember pins will have to be inserted into this material so it cant break easily. I was wondering along the lines of like foam insulation. How it expands to the area anyway. Make a mold, fill the two parts separately, scrap off extra then glue the two parts together. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work but he seems to disagree with me. What do you say?
Thanks for your input
^_^
well why don’t you just get him to try it there only squirrles. what does he have to lose doesn’t sound like hes having much luck now
