by Second 2 Nature Taxidermy Supply with Tommy Ramage 1 Hr
Tommy starts with a belly incision and skins the Opossum. He fleshes with a scalpel. He then prepares the manikin, sets the eyes and puts Ear Base in the ears. The skin is put on the manikin and he pushes cotton into the tail. The skin is larger than the manikin, so he stuffs polyfill and cotton in the belly and around the sides and sews it up. The Opossum is attached to a piece of cork bark. *NOTE: Video is low quality, but still informative.
