Reproduction prickly pear cactus with javelina bites. EXCELLENT for small game pedestal mounts (bobcat, coyote, fox, jack rabbit, etc. ).
Made by me.
They come unpainted. Have to paint them yourself.

I sell them $20 unpainted and $30 painted. I will send you the spines and you can glue them in AFTER you get it on your base. The spines are always the LAST thing you do to a base.
I will check at the post office on Monday and see what the shipping rates are to Australia.

Would they be sturdy enough for a pedestal Javalina?

The one pictured (javelina bites) could easily hold the weight of a javelina pedistal mount. They are made of solid bondo, just drill the hole where you want the attachment to your form on top of the pad and also drill and install a bolt on the bottom of the pad for attachment to your base.

I mailed a box today to Texas and asked the clerk to give me a quote on that box to Australia. The box to Texas was $8.00 and that same box to Australia was $13.00 (Air Mail), $30.00 (Priority). She said either way it would take 2-3 weeks to get there. Your box would be slight larger and slightly heavier.
So unpainted would be $20.00 plus $15.00 = $35.00.
And painted would be $30.00 plus $15.00 = $45.00.
I accept Money Orders and Cashiers Checks (sorry no PayPal or Credit Cards), made payable to:

Hey I really llike that, do you think you could make any like that, that could support the weight of a whitetail and be big enough to be on scale with a form that big?

that looks good.

, although I pour them with solid bondo I think it wouldn't be a problem, but to be safe I could pour one for you with IE 3030 and that should do it for sure. The only problem with bondo is if you drop it on a concrete floor they will be damaged, the IE 3030 won't.
