OK Heres my plan just not sure how to do it as I have never altered a form before.I have a wolf I would like to mount as a pedestal head tilted up howling pose.Do I just buy a open mouth regular wall form and cut neck tilt head back and refill with foam I believe I have a Taxidermy Today back issue where it shows how to convert a white tail wall form into a pedestal would I just do the same for the wolf? any advise,hints or tips before I do the wrong thing would be appreciated as well as the best form to order. thanks Paul.

You can cut the head off in a round shape and then be able to rotate it up and down with not a lot of work. Just like the real animal does. The only differance is the muscles in a differant shape.
