Pedestal Mounts

How does such a large head get stabilized? Is there lots of weight in the pedestal? Is it fastened to the floor?

The threaded rod which is the main attachment point for the manikin is located so that the center of gravity is farther back in the manikin. Also, the base itself had to be built just wide enough to maintain the point of balance.. I helped my taxidermist position the mount on the base before it was secured. It took a bit of tweaking and repositioning, but it worked..

BTW, My taxidermist for 20 years is Jose Hernandez of Animal Gallery. He is located in Miami, Florida. I am extremely picky about taxidermy and Jose is one of the most talented taxidermists and artists I have come across. He has over 25 years of experience with African game and I highly recommend his work to anyone who is interested in excellent taxidermy at very fair pricing.

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.
