| Taxidermy. My first try
Righty, the new week is aound the corner and I'll be having a try at my first 'propper' taxidermy mount.
Starting off small just for practise sake I'll be working on rodents such as mice, rats and rat pups. During the process I'll more than likely make a photo diary type thing showing the process of working on small mounts. It'll be good for myself to have something to look back at seeing the progress I've made skills wise, and some folks on here might like it (although if there is much hooting and hollering about how it's gross, I'll happily do it in twisted instead).
Anyway, the poll above. What's my first piece going to be?

The potential answers to the question "What should my first mount be?", should never include White mouse, Brown rat pup, Black and white rat pup or Adult albino rat. Take it to Twisted.

| Re: Taxidermy. My first try
I've been interested in taxidermy for years. It's progression from being interested in the pieces shown in museums, applying for a job as an apprentice taxidermist, not getting the job (obviously) but still wanting to learn about practise side of it.

Not really.
I'm just as curious as him, I don't see what's to enjoy.
