Two antelope heads on one pedestal.

Hi
I would like to display two shoulder mounts together on the same pedestal. I would like to have a doe and a buck basically attached at the neck. The doe will be ears back and cautious with the buck alert and positioned just a little higher than her. My questions is what is the best way to attach the mounts together. Do I just drill a hole in each shoulder mount and epoxy a rod between the two?

I do appreciate any advice that you can offer.

Steve, Epoxy is not enough to hold in foam forms. Sounds like you want to have one mount attatched to the other and have both supported by one point of attatchment to the base. Can do--best way, I think, is the same method used to set up pedestal mounts using square tubeing. This allows you to "plug in" the mounts to the base and each other which makes moving the whole thing lots easier since you can break it down to 3 parts quickly. You can find information on this in the archives, just click on the search button and enter something like "attatching mount to pedestal base". Basicly you get square tubeing and some allthreaded rod which you hammer into a square rod to fit snugly inside of the tubeing. The square tubeing is inset into the form w/bondo and the square rod is set into the base or the other way around if you choose. Enjoy, Aaron H.
