The spiders lifelike too It's the eyes on both that don't look right. positioning of the eyes an skin around the eyes isn't correct. You see this in alot of work the eyes other than that the work you cant knock it . There was a chap who lived near me seen a few bits of his work at a pals house when we were kids. Locals lads who went hunting at the time called him the mad doctor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why, He said that a couple of lads had brought him a munty that there dog had accidently caught and they wanted a head and shoulder mount doing, As The munty was already in his garage i said i would pop over and skin it off, Upon arriving it was hanging in his garage great i thought, Happy days, However as i got closer i noticed its throat was cut, Not a great start, some i am thinking i have a spare cape in the freezer. Anyway i start skinning it and make another discovery, Turning to these young lads i ask what dog it was, This x that they replied. Well its one clever dog i answered. Whys that they said, Because it can also use a f***ing gun at that point i just pissed off and left it hanging half done, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No not me mate, i wouldn't know where to start and more importantly, i have no patience what so ever, it would end up over the back fence if it didn't go right within the first hour Quote Link to post Share on other sites
