Change-Out Heads
|
| McKenzie change-out heads
were developed to dramatically increase our customers’
ability to find a form that corresponds to the measurements
of the specimen to be mounted. Animals are like people,
they come in all shapes and sizes. It would be nearly
impossible for a supplier to create a form for every sized
animal a taxidermist might have come into his studio.
With a change-out head it will be easier for the taxidermist
to find a corresponding neck size, then order a change-out
head of the correct size, if form alteration is not a
practical option. With the new Flehmen head, you can change
the expression of the form in dramatic fashion. The new
Dall/Stone and Bighorn Sheep change-out out heads even
allow you to change the species. |

| Instructions
for Use |
| • Note
the position of the original head sculpted on the
form. Saw the head off the form at the neck junction
(save this head for another mount). |
| • Saw
the neck surface of the change-out head to match
the form. Make sure the base of the change-out head
has exposed "inner foam" for good adhesion.
Scuff or roughen the surface of the inner neck as
needed. |
| • Test-position the
change-out head. Once the pattern is correct, bondo
the change-out head to the form. |
| • After
the bondo has cured, model the head/neck junction
to a smooth, natural union using clay, paper mache,
or similar. |
