Taxidermist's mannikins!

Warning: these are life size. Fast forward to pp. 28 & 35 for quick previews. Badger skulls, $12.50! But standing bears are over $300. (Not sure if in US or CDN currency).

I'm not familiar with the type of material used for the mannikins so maybe investigate that further if it is matte, shiny or felt/foam.

I wonder how hard it is to mod or retrofit these things. Upgrade them with missile packs, bone spurs or body armor for example :devil:

You know what would be awesome?

A Flayed wolf cast.

Life size warewolf. That would be awesome.

I'd kitbash an animal mannikin with a human clothing store one. Just get the wolf head; lop the human head; super glue; re-sculpt the seams to coverup. Sand and airbrush. Maybe dress it up with a thrift store bought sun dress, in case I have the urge to do drapery studies.

I wonder what the traffic cops would think if I use it as a fake passenger on an HOV lane.
