Default Taking the plunge!

I finally decided what to do with this bad boy. He's been living in my freezer for 14 months. I thawed him out and he looks great. I decided to mount him myself. My first try. I am getting a kit from Rineharts complete with a dvd. I caped out the skull yesterday and now I am waiting for their catalog to pick out the form. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Personally I'd order a mackenzie form if I were you a semi sneek left or right turn. They are easy startersand mackenzie makes some of hte best forms. Good luck. WCL

Man that's a heck of a project to take on. Make sure and let us know how it turns out. If you would, try and post some pics of the progress you make on it.

I will try to keep everyone posted. I'm not much of a picture guy but maybe I can get my daughter involved.
