Nice work.  I've been thinking of giving ducks a try also.  What did you think of the process?  How hard was the detailing?Does it look natural up close?  Looks good in the picture.

Looks right to me,I left tyhe skull in,some of the fake head/beaks didnt look right to me,the first one was the hardest,just not wanting to screw it up made me nervous.

I just had a feeling ... what a wall !! Some good looking rifles and ?? what is that framed below the middle skull mount? Have you painted the two rifles on the left?

Very nice indeed ...

wings are way off.They need spread out and brought up and forward.Position is wrong.Good for a beginner though.What really helps alot in the begining is good reference pictures.
