How I rearticulated my badger skeleton, part two

As promised, here is part two of how I rearticulated my badger skeleton. By the time I'd got to the stage which was the end of last weeks post, the skeleton did not look good, but I knew from before that if everything is in roughly the right place it would all come together.

So in his week's post I will go through the final stages to finish it off and tidy it up so it looks nice. This week I am going to show you how I rearticulated the front legs, back legs, feet, the tail and the carpals, tarsals and phlanges. (If you want a step-by-step guide, see the one I wrote last year about my fox skeleton Vulpy)

How to rearticulate a fox skeleton: part two

Two weeks ago I posted about my finished rearticulated fox skeleton Vulpy, and last weekend I wrote about the first half of how I did it. In the first half of my guide I wrote about doing the spine, the back legs and front legs which may seem like a lot but it's still only half way there !

The final steps are the feet, the tail, the ribs and attaching the skull.

How to re-articulate a fox skeleton: part one

This is going to a big post about how I put my fox skeleton Vulpy back together. I started on 22nd December and took photographs at every stage, and I finished it on the 6th January after a LOT of hard work. I took photographs at every stage and while I had some help there were some bits I didn't get right first time.

Last week I wrote about it when it was finished, but here is the first of two big big posts about I did it. There may be better ways or different ways to do it, but this is how I did it....
