I got in a nice non-typical buck this week that is going to be a full-body mount. The customer wants it scratching its head with rear foot. Joe Coombs has the very pose but the measurements on his form are way too small. McKenzie has a standing form in the exact measurements but I would have to alter it to make the pose he wants. Does anyone know of this pose from another supplier? I have looked at all my catalogs and some web sites and can't come up with one. I'm comfortable with my alteration abilities but would like to get closer to what I need before I get the sawz-all out.
Also, I have seen this pose done at the NTA or WTC. Could anyone direct me to photos of a mount or actual reference photos of this live pose?
Thanks.

I believe that Lou Gagilano of Pa mounted one and it took Best of Category if I recall at the World or NTA show some 5-8 years ago. If you got some old Breakthrough Magazines you will probably find it.
If you don't and when I get time I can look it up and scan a photo and send to you. I've got all my old Breakthrough's.

do i get a life size that dosnt require form alteration, find a form that is close and make it work, make sure you charge for your time. dont be shy, get out the saw and hack away
Thanks for the offer but I have the Breakthroughs back to issue 13. I'll dig thru and find it.
