I'm with Dan, what is your question?

Yes,a warthog can be mounted. If your asking about technique, it's done like any other animal.

I usually do the head last, glueing in the tusks after the skin is on the form. Use a good water base hide paste that doesn't set up or dry too fast. Go over it a couple times a day for at least a week, because the skin tends to shrink and pull. After its dry, you will need to repair all the holes with an epoxy product, paint the entire pig.

If you really have no clue about what you are doing with this type of animal, you may want to get some additional experience before you tackle this type of project.


Thanks

Thanks for the information.This is actually a High School class that I'm taken and my teacher just didn't know if there was any other ways to mount a warthog than what he knew how to. Thanks a lot for the info.
