Euro mount help... ideas

[longhorn_cop]

Had an elk where antlers had been cut for a mount, although I had asked to leave the skull for a european mount. Taxi used a repro skull. after finishing he brushed on some light baby powder and glue on the replica skull to give it a more naural texture. Looks pretty good. I was happy

Hadn’t thought of that... y’all got and videos or how too’s of that process

Have you checked youtube? There's probably all kinds of video help on there.

Had a mishap like that on a smaller axis. ended up capping the skull then wrapping it with a piece of leather to mount on an angled board. It looked pretty neat when it was completed.

Ended up being real careful and even using some bones off another of my euros- not perfect but looks okY.

That turned out pretty dang good. I was expecting much worse from your OP.

glue and a long history of building models may have contributed to the fact it still kind of looks like a whitetail deer euro mount

Looks pretty darn good.

Looks good! I'm in the same boat. Was going to do a euro for my nephew and messed up. I got it fleshed out and started boiling it. Had to leave for a bit...a bit turned in to longer than expected. Came back to find that all of the water had boiled out of the bottom of the pot and the skull was pretty much charcoal. Tried to salvage it but half of it just crumbled to pieces. So I capped it. Still thinking about trying the Mountain Mike plastic euro. I've used one before and it's ok. I figure out afterwards that the trick is getting the correct size skull and getting the angle right. Otherwise it doesn't look natural.

was doing a euro for my friend’s latest whitetail. Well- got most of the stuff off the skill and went to town for supper. Got back and the dog had found a way to get the head and chewed it. Broke bones around nasal cavity and the front part of the the nose. I can’t find the bones and he chewed on it pretty good.

Anyone had any luck with those reproduction skulls? They look good? Gosh- stinkin dog

lol!
