Altering a Shoulder Form to a Wall Pedestal

« on: April 13, 2008, 04:29:00 PM »

I have a client who want Chamois in a wall ped. I couldn't find any on the market. So I had to alter one. I started with a McKenzie shoulder form. In the second picture I cut the corner off the form. I the cut a piece of plywood to the shape I wanted the back to be. I then built the area up with foam. And when I got the shape I wanted I smoothed it all up with bondo. To some of you guys and gals this is probably elementry but maybe it will help someone.

I also altered the neck. I put a little more turn in it. I will post more pictures when I get it mounted.

Not lookin' ahead to see
Trying to keep my feet on track
Doin' what was expected of me
Kick my shoes off so they can't trace me
Leave no forwarding address
Before they all drive me crazy
And I leave 'em all in a bloody mess

I mounted this little fellow yesterday I'll post more when finished. It also helps if you have a wall ped form handy of a white tail just to get an ideal when altering one. I didn't have one but have mounted allot of them.
