Using urethane foam I sculpted the

Using urethane foam I sculpted the shoulder area and a small part of the chest until I reached the back board, once happy with the shape of the stags body I cut away the excess from the backboard leaving only the shape of the stag. I used an extra-long stag cape which incorporated the front legs to ensure enough skin. The stag was modelled without an eye to give the impression the stag had been there for some time, also wetting the fur of the stag with a weak solution of pva glue and water would give a weathered look to the animal. Then fnally the eagle was mounted on the shoulder of the deer with a proud look of satisfaction on the bird.
