Duck mounts.. not done but working on it !

[DRAFTSTUD]

Meanwhile Back at the Ranch, It sure does look like a once in a lifetime piece Moosie, I like the little Touches. If you can't find a place for it, maybe you can shove it up Big Stick's ass. That would be a natural thing, just yell "Duck!" and when he does....... John

 

[Moosie]

LOL... I would be offended but we already know this Clowns gig and know he doesn't know much. When it comes back with Blue ribbons from the contest, I'm sure that won't make any difference either

Buzz's 'jacked up' comment still has me laffin....

Moosie's kids in the tub 'oops' pic...best pic on the net. Damn, that took me back a few.

Moose I like how you think things out and then let the form tell you what it needs. Awesome work.

Well, Here is my mount in proccess still being worked on. Next month early on is the Taxidermy Western Regionals in Boise and it will be done for that entry. The base is even closer so I figured I would upload a couple more pictures.

This is the Left side of the mount, He's making it look like the water had ice on it and has melted a little :

Here is the Right side of the Mount :

There will be 2 waterfalls and this is the right one. Neither one is done yet but it's getting closer. If you look 2 pictures up you can see it from the top :

This is the view from the front. You can see the left waterfall area and the Right waterfall area.

This is were the Left one will be. The 2nd picture up above is the view of this one from the top :

Here is the top of the mount :

And even though this will be against a wall, he did a wrap around ice patch on the back incase it get's pulled away from the wall :

cha ching, cha ching, cha ching.....looks good Moosie. the guy knows what he's doing with the water stuff.

 

[Moosie]

He's worked on several of them. I think he is geting it figured out

 

[Moosie]

OK.... Here is almost the Final Product. We had the 2nd Harlequin in some of these pics and not in others :

Left waterfall :

The final Mounts with the final snow added will be displayed this weekend starting tomorrow at the Doubletree in Boise at the Western regionals taxidermy competition.....

I just wish I took better pictures... they truely don't do the mount justice

Nice, that'll take up a nice chunk of space. Better save some room for the half elk that's coming next.

looks nice Moosie.
......shouldnt the rocks be wet all over though? at least around the waterfall.
dont mean to piss on your parade...just the rocks.

 

[Moosie]

HAHA.. no pissing taken. It's actually wet up to the waterline on top and then higher in the splashing area towards the bottom where water would spread out and splash. The 3rd to last picture shows this the best. If you look at how water flows out of a bottlenecked river, It's still atthe top and turbulance at the bottom. When I look at it again today I'll take a better look though. Thanks !!

Pretty nice, Moosie. Do you have a spot picked out for it?

 

[JoseCuervo]

How come you did not do a 1/2 body mount on those ducks?

 

[mdcrossbow]

Moosie, nice job on the execution they look great.

 

[IdahoBugler]

Dude you went and saw Preston without telling me? Did you ask him about my 3 capes?

 

[Moosie]

He said he was gunna call you. But I'll see him tomorrow. Wanna head over there tomorrow ? I told him you were on the rampage

What time are you heading over? I tried texting you last night but no answer. I'll try again soon.

Read his other thread on how he broke all ties with humanity after dropping and breaking his life-line (cell phone). No wonder you couldn't get a hold of him!
