What will be done first to the skeleton? Some of the bones (and the skull) need to have a little repair done to them. This will be done by using different fillers (such as polymer clay and Apoxie Sculpt) to fill in missing areas, so if you like sculpting, this would be a great project for you. Then some of the bones will need a little touch-up with paint to give them a more even color. This will require mixing acrylic-type paint and painstaking sponge painting the bones to get a nice blended look. It will take 6 people about a week to get all the bones of the body done, and 2 people another week to get the skull done.
