MrB · May 8, 2006

I just started making reproduction mule deer skull for shed antlers or to just save time on cleaning. What do you guys think?

That looks great. They are going to make a great mount. Are you going to be selling them or just making them for you??

YELUM · May 8, 2006

MrB · May 8, 2006

I'm glad you guys like them. This casting is from a 3-4 year old, so the ones from him have medium pedestals. I am making a cast with large bases now. I have put one on Ebay for a price of $45, but I will sell them to my friends at M/M for $35. they do cost quite a bit to make and the molds take a lot of time. Just give me a PM if you want one.
Thanks, Mike

SneakAttack · May 8, 2006

Hope you got several molds buddy, you's gonna be busy!

What about the elk?

SneakAttack, I know a couple guys in town that might have a good skull to reproduce. I'll talk to them tonight. If they do I'll start working on that soon.

MrB · May 9, 2006

Longun, send me a PM with the amount and sizes you need and your address. I'll let you know when there ready, probably next week. SneakAttack, I live in Cloverdale, Ca. Did you get my PM?

heartshot · May 9, 2006

What kind of material are you using? Is it something that will snap easy when torqued with the weight of the antler?

It is really good looking. I like the details that you were able to preserve.

MrB · May 9, 2006

heartshot, I'm very happy with the toughness and durability of this liquid plastic. I have been reproducing antlers with this same product with no problems.
Thanks, Mike

Bambistew · May 9, 2006

Very nice!

SneakAttack · May 9, 2006

No.?

MrB · May 20, 2006

I have responded to everyone that sent me a PM about getting some of these skulls. The molds seem to be working well and I think I am caught up. Thanks for all the possitive feedback. If I have missed anyone just let me know.
Thanks again, Mike

CRB · Jun 1, 2006

got my skull today it is an excellent reproduction one of the best skulls that I have seen thanks MrB hope to order a few more

YELUM · Jun 2, 2006

Nice job Mike, they look awesome. Do I need to airbrush mine to make it white like yours?

Yelum

browtine · Jun 2, 2006

They dont come white?!?!?!?!

Later, Brandon

MrB · Jun 2, 2006

The third picture and the last best show the color. It's a off- white color. I think it is the best match to bone, but I can make them bright white. All the real skulls I've seen that people paint white look fake to me. Yehum, sorry if the color is not what you like. I'll try to make it right.
Thanks, Mike

YELUM · Jun 2, 2006

MIKE
As I said earlier, they look awesome. I've seen em white and off-white and not sure which I iike more. But you are right. If they are not done right they look fake. The detail on these is second to none. Right down to the teeth. Thanks again. I would recomend these to anyone interested.

BuckSnort · Jun 2, 2006

Mike,

Those look great! I may be intrested in a couple so I can attach some sheds to. Do they come with the screw in place like in pic #3?

MrB · Jun 2, 2006

Hey BuckSnort, they come with screws and pre-drilled. I tried to cast the screws right in, but it doesn't work well to rotate the antlers in position (too tight or too loose)
Thanks, Mike

BuckSnort · Jun 2, 2006

Mike, Sounds good. Can you send me a PM with the info? I think I'll try a couple. Thanks

browtine · Jun 7, 2006

MrB,

Got mine today... SWEEEEETTT~! Top notch stuff man. Thanks, I am glad I bought a couple. I actually like the off white as well. I may air brush one of them white. Also, Let me know as soon as you have some Elk skulls.

Later, Brandon

MrB · Jun 8, 2006

Thanks guys, I really appreciate hearing back. I definitely can use the feedback, it make me feel all these late nights are worth it. The first elk skulls will be ready the middle of next week, if every thing works as planned.
Thanks again, Mike
