Mounted leopard

Looks Like they copied the pose from a friend of mine, He owns this original form, he sculpted and mounted this one and avail only thru him , he has the mold no supplier does only avail thru him, They made one close but not as good, lots of anatomy differences , the upper arm for one and neck and head position, etc....Guess they made there own.

This is an incredible mount. Real imagination and artwork went into this.
 
Apologies to @Ernest Moyo, it sucks when someone craps on your thread, especially when you are trying to show off your accomplishments.

But in all honesty, there is a substantial difference between the two leopard mounts pictured. The details may appear small at first glance but are significant when studied for a few seconds. Look closely at the position and muscle detail of that lower front leg especially. That looks how a live cat would brace himself in that position. And the whole face from the neck through the eyes and into the snarl. It is snarling with its whole body, but especially the eyes.

The one posted by Dennis @The Artistry of Wildlife is clearly World Class. That cat actually looks alive! The other one just looks like taxidermy.

@Ernest Moyo please look closely and try to take the opportunity to learn from this Award winning mount comparison. And remember the difference is in the details.

Hi Marcus
I'll 2nd limcroma! Booked 2nd trip at SCI last week. Those guys are great. Trying to get hooked up with Peter when he gets to the states if I can break away.

What sling studs do those swivels fit ? They look to be quite a bit wider than the standard modern swivels. They may be just what I need for my Remington 30 Express wide swivel studs. Can you measure the pin diameter ?
