my first attempt at taxidermy...

[leebtattoos]

its not finished but here are some pics so far. i need to do all the finish work this coming week but i figured i would show yall the progress.

and i also would like to publicly thank Kevin (texastaxi) and Tina for being amazing hosts and for teaching me all that you did. You are a great guy Kev and i really appreciate it.

you guys/gals will see that it looks like my deer has a cold, but its just the plastic bags in his nose till it all dries...

[Low Fence]

Cool. Better than I could have done Keep it up

[Codie]

looks pretty good for a first go at it! Being a tattoo artist, I would think you would have a natural (Artistic) talent that will help you big time when it comes to making animals come to life

[AggieHunter]

Heck of a lot better than most peoples first!!! Can't wait to see it finished!

many Taxi's would be very hesitant to do what you did

Lee has definately got the artistic abilities AND the patience to do taxidermy. That cape was an older cape and it was like mounting a piece of damp cardboard (I didn't realize the cape was bad until we started working) ... Lee worked past it and turned the crappy cape into a mount that made my first mount look like a 3 year old's Play Dough sculpture! When he mounts a "good" cape, prepare to be amazed!

It was fun working with you, Lee ... you soaked up a lot of info even though the presentation was a little scatterbrained!

I doubt it was the presentation but rather the presenter who was scatterbrianed.......

Looking good Lee.........way to share your knowledge Kevin.......
