    I have to replace a nose on a lifesize mature wolverine. I don't have the measurements for the original nose and I don't see any wolverine replacements in the catalogs. Any ideas for an acceptable replacement from another species? Thanks Mark

    I'd have to check the catalogs but Ive used repro noses for them a bunch of times, you can also go the lip cast route as well, comes with a repro nose on it. Was either mcKenzie or Research that sold the noses specifically for wolverines.

    Go up to the right corner and click on suppliers. There are about 15 or so and one of them has to have what you're looking for.

    For the record I checked with the suppliers and did not find one. I'm asking if anyone is familiar with an acceptable replacement from a species they do have a repo nose for. Thanks, Mark

    You can use a repo coyote nose or you can get a hold of Robert Holshouser (Positive Reproductions). He makes Wolverine noses.

    You can also CALL the suppliers and ask. I do that all the time. Over the years Research has been especially helpfull in that regard. If the don't have it they will usually refer me to someone who does.

    Ok I will check with him. I figured a coyote nose would just be a bit to big and a fox a bit to small.

    Or get the cast lip/nose and cut the nose off. Or if someone has a cast study reference sculpt one from that. Or sculpt one from pic ref.
