Got started on birds and can't put them down. Threw this one together yesterday.

A nice looking mount.  I will have to harvest another one of these for a mount.  I didn't mount the last ones.

Thanks everyone for all of the nice comments. You guys and gals make it fun to post pictures on here. Ducksdoom I use scaulp all to keep the hood in place. I mix it till it gets to a tacky stage then I put it on the skull. Using silicone gets pretty messy. The only time I use silicone is for the cheeks before sealing the face and on the wings and where the oil feathers are removed.
