[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 396911, member: 13599"] oh wow so cool !! I had an uncle in Orlando, FL that was a world class taxidermist. As a kid, my brothers and I spent countless hours in his shop watching him do his work. It was so interesting watching an "old school master" at work. But, back in the '60s, it was normal. Before the foam bodies. When I was in the Navy stationed in Italy, I found a paperback book of Taxidermy by Leon Pray . . . this sparked my desire to try it for myself. I killed a pigeon with a slingshot and mounted it..... then, a few other small birds and animals. I bought fresh fish at the market and mounted them. Of course, eating what wasn't mounted. This honed my air brushing skills like you wouldn't believe. Transferring to Virginia, I progressed up to larger fish out of the Chesapeake Bay, deer and hog heads, even a Black Angus cow head that was a family pet that had died. Taxidermy is an ART - a craft. If anyone ever wanted to learn a personally rewarding skill that takes very little monetary investment to get started, this would be it. There are so many good books and videos on the market today, plus the good old YouTube. And, I am quite sure that [b]Taxidermy Insider[/b] can get you started !!! [b]I extend a very warm and hardy WELCOME to a fellow craftsman.[/b] [ATTACH type="full" alt="White Marlin.jpg"]79046._xfImport[/ATTACH] This is one of two white marlins my neighbor caught out of Oregon Inlet, NC. .
