Good Job, Uprights are hard to pull off. Not sure why anyone wants a straight upright, but once again, Good job and keep it up.

Don't know if the iPhone can pic this up but these are some splash pieces that will be used.

You got mad skills my friend! Wow that red is kick A $$

It's not a test so don't worry about cheating. Do what you gotta do to make it natural and back to it's original contours. Those mannikins are "general purpose" and don't always work perfect. I like the clay idea better than silicon. But I have a question...did you test-fit the cape first? Eland are a booger to mount. Every one that I have mounted has been a pain, as is pretty much every African critter.

Nah they arent that bad. I really like doing African.

I don't know how many of you other taxi's here on TBH have had the luxury/daunting task of mounting up an Eland (Common) before but I think this one gave me a run for the money. An animal with so much extra skin to work with has become relentless. I finally just decided to cut part of the dewlap off of this beast and will be forming my own just so that the wattle skin will fall naturally into place. I doubt this is the right way/proceeding step of recreating this but I am going to make an incision along the thick hair line, and either put clay to form or inject silicone to form it to shape. What say you Taxi brain trust?

Out of the all the ones That I have mounted Ive only had one fit the sculpted dulap.Using Elephant paste is the trick on these big suckers.
