Johno2486 67 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Hi Guys, Thought I post this up, hand on heart this is the first bird I ever completed a few months ago & indeed my first ever attempt at Taxidermy, after gathering as much info as I could via the web, I bind my own bodies, I'm happy with how this wee guy turned out, feel free to comment/critique - all part of my learning curve which is I can assure you a steep one..Thanks Steve. 18 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiercel 6,986 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Not a critique as such just an observation. If you look at all the best work, the study is always doing something. Also the studies setting is important it has to be as natural as possible to where you would find that study in the wild. That said, birds are one of the hardest animals to do because of the very thin skin. IMHO you have done a real good job with the Red leg and can only get better.

gnasher16 29,622 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Looks good to my untrained eye......id imagine its a massive field of learning but with time and patience i would think great improvements could be made on a first attempt so being how your first attempt looks good it stands to reason your future work could be a good standard.......very interesting hobby i can see the appeal. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGD 6,385 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 For a first attempt that's fecking brilliant, I've seen much worse done by so called professionals. You've obviously got the knack for it, keep at it and you'll only get better 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil cooney 10,415 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 As BGD said, there's worse done by pros and they asking for a lot of money too. Well done, you'll soon have the boys on here worried. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
