I need a clean, dry and intact ribcage for a project.
Was thinking of buying a roast chicken then leaving the ribcage in a tank of meal.worms to strip it bare.
Anyone know any better?

a chickens ribcage is very small, but if it doesn't matter to you I'd just peel all the meat off a roast chicken
boiling would work
maybe just drying it in he sun
worms would take a long time and make a real mess
flesh eating beetles
just ask a butcher
The best way to get rid of the flesh is to boil the animal in a large pot for several hours. If you stir around while it's boiling the flesh will be very loose and you can easily separate the the bone, and you will have a nice white ribcage entirely free from flesh. Keep in mind though you need a large pot, and you have to boil it for several hours, maybe the whole day. We did this with fox skull when we were young, worked perfect.

Yep, go with boiling.
Vet student here, and this is how our department prepares any skeleton samples. They have a huge industrial sized pot that they boil femurs etc in all day long.

if you killed someone you should just grind the bones to powder.
if you ever seen the t.v show bones that shit is %100 evidence

Yes the one with the deschanel sister that has the masculine jawline.
Unfortunately its not homicide, just a stop motion set
boiling is going to fucking stink, so make sure you can vent that shit out

Maybe find a local butcher and ask if you can have the rib cage of some animal larger than a chicken? Otherwise I know there are companies that sell embalmed animal bodies and parts that may have what you need.
