Aka Javelina (aka stink pig)

I finally finished this stinky fellow up. He came from my beetle buddy still smelling rather...unpleasant. I handle my specimens on a fairly regular basis, be it dusting/cleaning, organizing, or just studying/admiring. The last thing I want is something foul smelling in my grasp, especially when that smell likes to stick to your skin. (Made the mistake of rubbing my cheek to aleviate an itch, really bad idea)

A nice long degreasing soak helped to get the stink out of him and a long sunbath to help him dry. He's still a little dark in some spots but that doesn't seem to want to come out. I don't mind, it gives him some character. So unles she decides to stink again, he's just fine as he is.

Sorry for the ugly water mark...
