CHALLENGE COMPETITION! ! !

maybe you could make one out of newspaper and coathangers and glue . . . and then Chuck could make one out of some fuzzy little rodent carcass . . . and then there could be a RandLer-off with voting by the kommunity members . . .

 

just thinking out loud here.  no pressure

1. I had to Google "Chuck Testa."  Funny dude. Nope. I only taxidermize mythical animals.

2. I create them for fun. I would be open to selling some, sometime, somewhere.

3. I have thought about that. That would engage my enjoyment of engineering also.

1. All of these are mythically amazing . . . you could give Chuck Testa a run for the money.
2. Do you just create for your own personal use, sell them in a shop, give away as gifts, ? ? ?
3. Have you ever tried any with flexible joints / mouth so it could be used as a puppet?
4. Would you  PLEASE   PLEASE   PLEASE  try your creative hand at making a RandLer? ~ based on Evelina Waara's winning design from the KBE to create a kommunity mascot - - KBE: RandLer Mascot Design

Yes. From balled newspaper and coathangers for the form, then strips of newspaper dipped in homemade wheat paste glue to build up the skin. Paper towels made the skin texture and wing membranes. Paper clay made from pulverized newspaper, joint compound and glue made the scales. The only materials purchased were Fimo clay for the claws and teeth and eyes from a taxidermy supply.

Wow! Did you make this from scratch?
