    Very nice display. I like more of a natural so it's not very often i'll bleach one out. While i'm on the subject, bleaching is not a something you should take literally. Bleach will eat your skull. There are several ways to bleach a skull. This is my favorite;

    Stuff the skull with cotton balls (eye sockets, nasal cavity) then wrap the entire skull in cheese cloth. Fill a large flat pan with peroxide to approx. 1/4" and set the skull in the pan. I will check the level of the peroxide frequently as the cheese cloth will soak it up. I allow the skull to set in the pan for a few days then unwrap it and set it in the sun for a day or two. Makes for a nice finish.

    I just do the simmer thing, making sure all the meat is off. Then I just spray paint it with flat white paint. I like how they turn out
