Inspiration and Ideas - Trophy Croc

[Bearbait1]

1/2 life size coming out of the water about to eat a baboon or monkey overhead.

How would you make the croc 1/2 size?

Same way they do a 1/2 antelope mount, the one I saw was coming out of acrylic water I guess it was cut off about 3 feet behind the shoulders. It was still about 5 feet tall in a floor type pedestal.

Thank you all for the suggestions.
@LIFE-FORM TAXIDERMY could you please address the other’s suggestions from a professional perspective?

I had heard that trophy quality crocs are not “high quality” leather usually. Just too big and too worn. Is it reasonable to believe the hide quality will be suitable for upholstery or leather garments in most cases if you’re harvesting wild 3 meter crocs?

Good day Sir

Yes, you are correct. The best leather is made from a younger croc, however its still possible to process your trophy croc" into leather for things like bags and belts etc.

Incredible. What does that weigh? Do you have more examples like this incorporating other animals the croc is going after? I love the vertical croc also.

Good day @Green Chile. Much appreciated. It weighs roughly 120 pounds. Here's an image as requested.
