Hey, i know this is a long shot but does anyone in this group know how to self-tanning of leather/scales/hides...etc? I have some questions....
Is this group active?
hello everybody,
maybe someone here could help me
Today I've found a dead youg tit and I would love to keep it. I've heard you can put it into hard liquor, but thats all I know. Or is it enough to but it into the freezer till I've found someone that could dissect it for me?
(sorry for the bad english :/)

Ah, hello.
So, I feel absolutely useless, but I want to get into taxidermy as a hobby, and would love to soft mount some coyotes and foxes.
I know the basic idea but can't find and full on tutorials. I do know what I'm doing when it comes to prepping the hide, but soft mount tutorials are nearly non-existent, and even looked down on. Sites like Taxidermy.net for example, you so much as mention soft mounts and you're attacked.
I've already got the basic idea in mind for poseable rigging, but as I said I can't find any in-depth tutorials for anything. It's actually quite frustrating.
So, if you could point me in the right direction, that'd be fantastic.
Also, I see a lot of poseable soft mounts, but none that are able to open their mouths. I know that this is because normal mounting is done by using a plastic form, but I have another idea that I would love to know if it's even possible.
My idea is quite simple in theory. Take the skull, clean it(Mealworms make quick work of that), put pins in the jaw bone as a hinge, and then simply add clay to flesh it out again, painting the clay in areas such as the gums and eyelids. Could this be done, or am I stuck with static forms?
Any information is greatly appreciated.

hi,
you mentioned that you've worked with posable plushies before? thats a great place to start with posable soft mounts.
personally, i really don't mind whether people start with soft or rigid mounting, the technique for the head remains the same either way.
there is little in the way of tutorials for the actual armature, some use lots of heavy duty wire, and some have other techniques. remember that a pelt with a mounted head will be quite heavy.
as your for your opening mouth idea, you may find that if you want a completely posable mount, putting a real skull and the clay needed into that with create a head that is simply too heavy.
the best advice i can give you is to go for it, whether you decide to start with rigid or soft mounting. have a play around with different armature techniques and have a look at art doll tutorials as they may help with the armature side of things.
whatever you decide to to, please feel free to submit to this group, we aim to help people in a friendly manner and don't tolerate bullying of any kind. we can also help if you want some pointers on a specific mount.
