Leopard mount begins

[johnnyblues]

Thanks Eric, now what about your beautiful cat? You have your cities permit yet? What about taxidermy? Who’s doing it and what are your plans for position of the cat?

That's going to look fantastic, Johnny. I look forward to seeing the finished product as well. My leopard mount is one of my most prized.

Wow!! That's gonna be awesome when it's done!!

Asked them to close the eyes a bit more.

That's a bad cat!!!

 

[Nyati]

Looks great, not easy to do a cat.

I think this is what separates great taxidermists from the average.

+1 on this!

Good observation.
I guess it depends on the angle and how pissed off the cat is.

Correct Wayne, soon as I saw it I contacted them. Also asked if they could adjust the position of the dik dik to show the face more.

That is going to be mind-blowing when it's finished!

That will look amazing once it's finished. Looking forward to seeing the final product!

Thanks guys, just got off the phone with them and requested the place the dik dik head on top of the rocks to see it better. Hopefully we’re not too late. Going to call me back. I know they want to show it but I want to be happy first

Looks awesome however the dik dik is displayed. As you well know, finding someone who can do a cat competently is important and difficult. You have obviously hit a home run with these guys. I checked with my guys in Pennsylvania, and they compete with them annually. Nothing but good words about the quality of their work. That is going to be a mount truly worthy of two exceptional animals.

Figured out where he is going yet?

That is progressing into an outstanding mount!
