My first attempt at a mount. Still needs touchup and base, but turned out fairly well. Any thoughts?

Very nice. Please post when you get the base etc. as well.

I'm impressed! When totally completed please post a picture. Thanks

Looks good so far !

Front legs look a little off but overall a good job especially for your first.

For a first one,it looks excellent.

I never tried taxi.....But if I looked way back on my first paint job and body work .... ... You gotta start some where , Right. Keep that mount and then you can critique it in 20 years.. It’s a good time to practice with a down market. 10 years ago you’d have sold that otter for 150.00 off the board...lol.. Good Job...if it was easy,everyone would do their own mounts !

It's extremely good for your first mount.Nice nose shape.

Wow. Tackling an otter for a first is brave! The face is tricky, and I have seen some really bad ones.
Yours is looking good. Nice job.

Thanks everyone. I think it turned out well considering the form was 5 inches too short and the head was way smaller than I needed. Unfortunately this was a large otter and the only form that fit was in an odd position. I have a mink I'm starting on Monday.

Maybe it is me or just that I am looking on a phone but does that thing have 2 heads or at least a part of another head anyways

Great job, especially for a first mount.

....I understand that not everybody can get the homecoming queen....but an otter? ...that’s rough times for sure

LOL

looks good for the first one. Keep at it you will improve and learn as you go. If you have a friendly taxidermist don't be afraid to go and pick their brain. Most are willing to help.

Don't quite now
