Trophy Room - start

[DPHunter4570]

Looking awesome so far! The rhino skull at the end of the hall looks so cool. Trophy and trophy-room envy here.

Thanks. Eventually the rhino skull will sit on a pedestal with a giraffe skull below it. The print above the rhino is Bateman - charging rhino.

Whoa...lesser kudu!

That looks fantastic, your color scheme really lets the trophies standout!!

Here's my first attempt at hanging heads. Using only taxidermy heads, the euros will go elsewhere - at least that's the plan.

I really like the balance of the wood and the color you chose. Really nice choices and shows off the mounts well. I also feel like the color will be a good choice as a backdrop for euro mounts as well.

Robert Bateman is one of my favorite artists. Awesome print!

Mine as well. This print was a gift, this is the first time I've hung it - I'd say a new frame and different glass are in order.
Thomas Quinn is another wildlife artist I enjoy, he works mostly in watercolor. I don't recall anything related to Africa though.

Here's the giraffe leg bones. These were done in Namibia. Undecided were/how to display them.

Less shiny/reflective glass would really make the print pop.

I would drape that zebra across a sofa table against a wall with those engraved bones laid out across it. Mix in a few expended nitro cases and an old vintage fixed blade.

Those carved giraffe bones are really gorgeous and interesting. Unfortunately my wife would rather see my bleached bones on a fence than me shoot a giraffe. So I will never have one.
Keep the pictures coming!

Definitely on the list. That print/frame have been in a box for years, this is the first time I've hung it. It's a cool print - but completely lost with that glass.
