What scale was it? Haha. They should do animals, something like a fox could be 1:1 scale that way.

It was only a foot high. There are a couple on eBay - much higher price than I paid as a yoof!

Little bit more work on the feet

Assembled the phalanges and distal phalanges l, drilled and pinned and now waiting for the glue to dry.

I have some feet bones missing. One distal phalange on a rear foot, and 2 distal phalanges and one dew claw on a front foot. Not sure how to deal with that yet, I will probably just ‘leave’ them as missing.

laying out the front feet to get the bones in order. I have no idea if I have all the phalanges in the right places they would originally have been. I just went for how they felt if that makes sense…

laying out the front foot carpals and phalanges.


then drilling and wiring the rear feet

This thread is just epic. Poppy is going to love it. Which means fresh dead road kill bodies being piled up behind the shed

Great work Ed. You’re far too talented.

Better rotting down behind the shed than in a hotel room

Yeah, well, luckily we haven’t any family holidays planned till next year now

Great stuff, I've never seen a reconstruction before, it's fascinating.

Spotted a roadkill polecat today but the road was too busy to stop - I get away with skulls but the missus wouldn't put up with a full skeleton anyway.

You all need to get daughters that aren’t quite right in the head.

 

[FerlasDave]

Done any more @MrEd ?

 

[MrEd]

Not yet am in the middle of moving house which is a total ballache!

 

[Erbswurst]

Yes of course. You need room for the skeleton collection isn't it?

 

[MrEd]

Absolutely

The bonus if you upset her is you've got your shepherds hut to stay in

Havent done much with this recently but I have corrected the rotated foot I had assembled incorrectly, and made a start on the front left wrist and foot.
Significantly harder than the rear legs and this is where I am up to, 1 wrist assembled. Only took 1.5hrs :/ and I am still not convinced it’s correct

 

[Suffolkrafter]

What a thread! If there's one thing I've learnt, it's that the good folks of this forum don't do things by half. I'm genuinely impressed.

Most skeleton collections are kept in a closet. Just as well.
My daughters were perfectly well adjusted to play with bones , and assemble anatomical models in my lab. They had not learned nor understood the word "microscope." To them, the instrument was a "looker."

I am delighted to watch your adventures in anatomy.
