Frankenstein Euro Project

Unread postby Swampbuck » Mon Feb 19, 2018 8:51 am

I had some cutoff horns on a nice buck i killed 6-7 years ago and a skull I had leftover from an old buck I had mounted. Been meaning for years to try and merge them together and finally got around to it the other day

Forgot to take pics before I started so that blob of goop in the head is bondo

I used bondo and a wooden block to hold it in place, but the Bondo was way harder to trim and smooth than I thought. Not finished but it came out ok. Prolly be another few yrs before I get it smooth :lol:

After Bondo kicks it's kind of "rubbery" for a few minutes. That's the time to trim any rough spots. I use a utility knife to trim Bondo before it completely hardens.

Even if you trim a little too much, it's easier to fill in that space later than to remove excess hardened Bondo with a file, sand paper, sanding drum on a Dremel, etc.
