dj-gray-fox-004_675-3.jpgdj-gray-fox-002_675-3.jpgdj-gray-fox-001_675-3.jpgJust sharing a few pics from last year. Also, the mount went out the door without a habitat because the customer wanted to make his own, but he did let me cut the thread off before it left. . . I wish I had gotten some better pics now.

That’s a different pose, did you make the form or get it somewhere? Gray’s have been practically non-existent here since the mid 80’s, but we are finally starting to see a few again, always liked them.

Thanks MountNMan.

Keith,

I didn’t make this form, but I did modify it to an open mouth. I just clayed up the head to an open mouth and made my own silicone mold because I couldn’t find any change out heads I liked. It’s in the McK catalog under GF-28.

I have always liked the gray foxes.  They are easy to blend into custom wooded scenes.

Are those ears an earliner (whose) or bondo?

Earliners. They are in McK under Actual Ears and they only came in a forward position. I just modified them to an aggressive back. I had to cut away some and add some back, heat on them a little bit and in the end they looked nothing like the originals.
