Description

**This is a taxidermy fox, it was sourced responsibly and not killed by me, all I did was mount it**

Wanderer's neck wire popped out of his headform awhile back, giving him a floppy neck and messing with his balance so it was very hard to make him stand up independently. His head was sagging all the time so he looked very sorry for himself!

Here I am after slicing open his neck seam, ripping out the stuffing and his head tipped back allll the way so I could work on the base of the headform. I cut off the old epoxy attempts, dug out a better hole and filled it in with more WaterWeld. It now seems to be holding well! I also increased the lenght of the wire in his neck, luckily I had the foresight to make the wires too long and then fold them back on themselves in case I ever needed them longer! :phew:

I didn't keep him long in this pose unsupported in case the neck seam decided to extend itself from the weight of his head pulling back, but it made for some interesting picture opportunities ;D
