Kanny, he's the top bird taxidermist in the country. You've worked with guild members so you will know who he is. Have a look at his website if you want to see some pics.Bell Quote Link to post Share on other sites

delswal 3,819 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Doesn't look that life like to me, the front stoats legs look wrong and the mouse looks like it's running like a greyhound ! Just my opinion mate and not having a go for sake of it. If I was the size of that mouse and those two f*ckers were chasing me I would be running like a greyhound as well ffs, what you expect the mouse to do? Stand there with its fists up? Instead of comparing the man's work to others, try applauding him for his own 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
