28) Clay nose and rear lip. I use a little clay on nose to make adjustment if form is off later. Not much. Also make a small roll in rear corner of lip. This will soften lip line
29) tuck upper lip. Make a mark of center line on form before you roll skin over so once you start tucking you'll have a reference mark. Tuck center, then go to each corner and tuck. Everything goes in bewteen
30) clay lower lip and make rument swell
31) everything all tucked up
32) nose tucked in. Here's where those small coastal deer features came into play again. The form was too big for skin but sometimes you have to go with what you have. A normal S Tx deer would have fit this fine
33) eye tucked
34) front angle
35) let paste sit up and skin start to set in. I don't mess with details until day 2. Just get things in place, check hair patterns and keep it moist. Later today, I'll put my hands all over it working airpockets, moving hide pate etc. Day 2 is probably the most important day. Stayed tuned
