Metalized warthog

[HuntingGold]

I picked this one up today. Very happy with how this turned out. As usual, photos don't fully capture the beauty in this beast. This was taken with @LJ SAFARIS .

Local to Southern Oregon, Link River Taxidermy. Brock Thompson is his name.

This is the best I have. They are located in Klamath Falls, Oregon. If you pm, I can give you a phone number.

Brock Thompson does the heads.
Dustin Starr does birds and is world class.

They will be remounting a duiker for me soon as well as a mouflon.

The oribi and Steenbok were done by Link River. The duiker was originally done in South Africa and will be remounted in a similar pose and added to my tiny ten collection. I also will soon add the grysbok and klipspringer.

Thank you.

I really like that very much !!!! Can you tell me how much they charge to duplicate a Warthog.

 

[HuntingGold]

@Manny R
To duplicate? I really haven't a clue. The link to their Facebook page is above, give them a shout. If that doesn't help, feel free to pm and I'll give you their number.
The downside is there are 3 taxidermists at the business and one has been out with a dilapidating illness for many months and their work is stacking up. He's a good dude and it's a long road to recovery

That work on the warthog is beautiful, and I also like your wife's Nyala.

Is this like a cast metal copy or how is this done? Looks cool!

 

[HuntingGold]

@Certus it's a type of paint process

 

[Certus]

Looks great
Wonder how a hippo would go

That's pretty wicked!

I had Life-form taxidermy do a bronzed warthog skull vey similar to the original posters. Came out great.
