The End is Nigh: Deadlands
Surgery
Disassembly
I removed the bottom jaw from the large skull, using a a rotary tool and hobby saw.
As this skull is for the cave I needed to remove some of the bottom of the jaw so it would sit at the angle I wanted.
I also decided to remove a couple of the teeth to give a more ragged look. As this required a much more controlled cut, I used a jewelers saw and cleaned up the surrounding teeth and resulting cavity with a hobby knife and fine files.
More Dentistry?
I’m also debating removing one more tooth, to give a bit more access to the cave. What do you guys think?
Remove another tooth?Hacking Up More Bones
While I had the cutting tools out, I also started disassembling the spine and rib-cage of the skeleton.
Now on to cleaning up the mold lines and such, and getting a primer coat on as I will not be able to spray the foam and I want to be sure the latex paint has a good surface to adhere to.
Next up…planning the mesa cave and start cutting the foam.
