Default Finally my elephant (pics)

Well last week we Finally got the Elephant that been worked on for 28 day strait.It is a real skin mount from a client that i will keep private.We build it right onto a trailer so that it would be easy to transport and then when we got it to its location we took the wheels off and made a habitat around the base. It turned out to be a lot more work than what was expected. We had it in the shop for a while and we are just now getting it where its home will be for a while which is at Wilder Outdoors in Clarksville Ga. The total weight of the elephant mounted weighed 2900lbs. We took it to a rock scale to have it weighed.

NOTE: The ears are not on for the moving of the animal.

That looks really nice. I couldnot imagine workingon something that big. It took 28 days, but how many hours and how many people worked on it?
