Keeping the fine detail in face and wrinkles is an issue I have had, making the veins pop out, seams most of my skins "drummed" past the details in face, even in body for my eland. Maybe need more expertise, we get very few African animals, Canadian fall species have thick skins and heavy fur. On my African stuff I used reg hide paste, maybe my problem or not enough rough sanding of forms. Next ones I will try and use 2 part ear adhesive for detail places? Or maybe epo grip? Did you rope and pin?
Love your pics, great to see a real pro's work.
Thanks
