After they dried, I laid them out on some strawberry flats. The bones were then sprayed with a clear acrylic spray (spray paint). Each side got 3 layers about an hour apart.

Since the fawn had not lived long enough for the bones to fuse propery, the skull was in peices.

I took the delicate bones of the skull were put back together primarily with the help of super glue (SEVERAL different varietes).

The backbone was put together with a strong, yet light wire, that, unfortunatly, broke a lot of the bones (due to the lack of fusing). Eventually I got my head out of the gutter and found a VERY light weight (it's comparable to twist ties), and that worked WONDERS. I used a small 1/16" drill bit to drill the holes. While mounting it to the wood stand I drilled holes for the poles just a size too small for them to fit and hammered them in, then the skeleton was wired tightly to the pools, and the hooves where wired to the base as well. I did use super glue to attach all the ribs, the hooves, the dews, and the rod holding the skull up.

*Whew* and after all that, what do you get?!
