I am at the point of ordering a Sika deer form for a shoulder Mount.
Customer gave me the option on turn etc. The tanned cape is huge.
Measures 7 1/4 X 21 X 23 . This thing looks as big as some stags I have mounted in the past. Normally I would order a Axis deer and make the necessary adjustments on a Sika that is large but this one is larger that the Axis forms I can buy. Are there any other forms that may work as a start (Am I missing something?)or should I start off with a muley or white tail form the appropriate size and change out the head ?

Get the largest Sika form and then look in the Rayline Catalog, its shows who to build up forms to a larger size. Its a lot easier than cutting one down.
I spent 24 hours working on a small artic fox once, cutting it down test fitting, it would have been easier to cast, but no body.
I have cut and foamed a lot of deer forms to a larger size over the years and it only takes about 90 minutes to upsize one.
They have the largest that I know of, but it will still have to be built up. I have used it and done just that with it. I have also built up the Precision sika form but I did use the Research change out head, the head on the Precission form is too narrow.
