Sweet! Are you glueing the pieces together or wire method? I'm thinking I'm gonna try the super glue method first

Just wanted to pop in to say your projects are cool.

I have minimal experience with animal bones (aside from digging them up), but have a lot of experience with human bones. I personally own 1 male adult skeleton, and have worked with many others.
I'm now working with fetal, infant and child skeletons.

Maybe one day I'll string my human together!

[carlson]

That's cool I wish I could afford a human one they outta my price range right now but a articulated one would be super cool any pics?

How does one, and why does one for that matter, trap a muskrat...?

[CatandDiallo]

I don't even want to know how much a human one would cost/what the requirements would be to get one now a days.

My father purchased it in the late 1970s or early 1980s I do believe, and I'm sure it was much easier to get a hold of them then.

I take a lot of Osteo courses, so it got passed on to me.

I don't have pictures on this computer, but he just looks like a normal, clean, bleached laboratory skeleton.

I worked with a skeleton in the summer that was uncleaned, unbleached and over half a millenia old, though. He was missing a lot of his bones. If you want to see him, send me a message and I can show you.
I would rather my work not be posted on a public forum.
