rimfire4969 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 As shoot captain of our little pheasant syndicate I have decided to award a “Full Choke Trophy” for the least sporting bird shot if you get what I mean. I have a wooden plinth and metal plaque to mount on it. I want just a pair of cock pheasant legs on it how could I go about preserving them. It would be lower leg so no real flesh. I was thinking drying in a very low oven or a dehydrator, apart from that I have no idea. Any help most appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 make a rubber/silicon casting of the bits of body.......then cut the casting open pull the dead bits out...and pour in you preferred casting medium....let it set cut the mould off and get someone to airbrush some colour onto it .... then the trophy couldbe passed on season to season...

Sounds great but I expect a bit above my pay grade. I will have a look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Any art student should be able to model a couple of legs from Milliputt or similar, then paint them. Do you know anyone arty? Apart from that I think it’s a brilliant idea. You could always just stick a couple of feathers on a plinth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
