Unfortunately I underestimated how much fragile a younger bucks skull might be and broke the nasal bones off. I still have them and think I can attach them with glue.
I suck at posting photos here.
Maybe a hyperlink is good enough. https://imgur.com/a/2yer3Pw |
Nice deers. If you ever played pick up stix and were good at it then you might have a shot at those fine bones. Or you could just tape them in with band aids. Give him some character. Make him up like a Gerry Cheevers hockey mask.
