#skeleton articulation

Disarticulated Dog Paw

Disarticulated front paw of a domestic canine, breed unknown.

This was found out in the deserts of Arizona, mummified with a few other bones in the skeleton. It's been cleaned via maceration, degreased and whitened. It is ready to be articulated as is!

This includes the wrist bones, sesamoid bones, and the nails as well.

$30 shipped within the US. Payment accepted through paypal. Will ship via USPS.

Major progress has been made with finally assembling the limbs together. Having some major issues with the spine though, it's obvious now that we didn't bend it into the right position at the beginning. We bent it to the best of our abilities and for right now it's still very wonky, you may notice the string holding the pose in place.

He's going to be a bit of a awkward fox but I think I did pretty well for a 1st attempt. His ribs and tail still need to be added.

made a 2nd mouse skeleton last week, the chap on the right! 

One of my skeletons arrived at what could be said to be the most important museum in the city and one of the most important in Mexico, the Museo del Desierto

The story of this skeleton is funny, a partner who finds me animals to work with asked me to work on this snake and he paid me with around 12 snakes, all over 2.5 meters

The idea was that this skeleton was going to be for one of his clients, a wealthy and extravagant guy who actually lives in my area.

We were going to place the skeleton in an urn on a black marble with black lights on the sides so that the skeleton would glow.

When I finished the skeleton and they picked it up to do the urn after about a week my partner called me and gave me the news that in the man did not want it because "his wife did not like it" so we abandoned the idea of ​​the marble and we began to look for a buyer for the skeleton as it was, I offered it to my boss of the taxidermy workshop who, by the way, said that he want it but since he did not pay and the one who pays first is the one who wins, the director ended up buying it of said museum that he paid in cash the same day that my partner offered it to him

The next day we went to deliver it, I met this person who congratulated me and then my partners congratulated me because the director congratulated me since apparently he never congratulates anyone and it is very very very rare that something surprises him, and boy was he surprised with my job

Anyway, all the staff were behind us fascinated with the piece that we were taking to the herpetarium of the museum where it is currently on display and luckily for me they told me that there are probably projects available to take there since they don't have anyone to take care of the osteotechniques of reptiles

So, that is the story of how a client turned out badly for us and now I have the doors open to work in one of the most important museums in my country, and all because a lady did not like the skeleton :v
