"Gretel" - Skeleton Articulation (Non-Tef)

CydaLuva83's picture
It's not TEF-related but I spent 19 hours on it and I'm proud of the results. This is a domestic cat skeleton I purchased in pieces from the Museum of Osteology last fall. Finally got around to putting her together these past two days. Her name is Gretel.




You're welcome to use it as anatomy reference for drawings if you want, but know that the ribs aren't accurate. The cartilage they sent was solid and couldn't be molded to the proper shape.

Thanks guys! It was really

Thanks guys!
It was really fun! A great exercise in anatomy. Great reference photos are a must. I went the easy route and bought the bones ready to go, already drilled for wire, instead of starting with a fresh carcass. But that's what I'll do next with the rabbit in my freezer.
Would anyone be interested in me documenting how I skin the rabbit, rot it down, clean the bones, prepare them for articulation, and put them together? I could put it on a separate site and link to it here.
