PAHunters Torphy Room, Still waiting on some
Hi Guys:



Here is my humble Trophy Room. I am still waiting for the Hartbeast to be hung, paint not dry yet. And my Warthog is still in the making.



But my Buff and other stuff just came home after one and a half year wait.



Hope you like em...



Jim P. I couldn't get the whole room in...







This is my BIG wall where the rest of the mounts are going.







Here is a close up of my Buff, scored 110 points SCI record book.







Here is a close up of my Zebra.







And here is my Hartbeast, have to stick him on the wall.

Hi Guys:

Thanks...Wildlife Design did the Taxi... If anybody is interested Sean Lamparter is the man... 570-842-9260

The bottom of the base on the Buff has a door built into the pedistal. This is where i now keep my way to many Hunting Magazines...LOL

Good looking buff, I really like the folds in the neck! Just curious, do you choose mounts to remind you of how you first saw the animal or what works best in your room? I started out mounting animals to remind me of the way I first saw them, then realized that that may not work and changed to what worked in the room.

Hi Snake:

The Buff I definitely wanted on a Pedestal mount because I wanted the LOOK he gave me after he was shot. I thougt my taxi captured that look. It sort of says this isn't over yet buddy. Believe me I got close enough to look him in the eyes before he died.

The rest of my mounts will be basically for the room, but not the one in the picture. I plan on building a bigger trophy room when I move from my current home to my place in the mountains.

Both the Buff and the Zebra are on a 2.5 in steel pipe and can swivel left or right 180 degrees on the base. So if you want to look at the mass of the Buff from the side, you just turn him to the right. Pretty neat option.

I am headed for Zim this year for a Leopard and plains game. I would like to do the Leopard and Sable on pedestal mounts and the rest on wall mounts. I am fast running out of floor space for any more pedistal mounts though.

The next set will definitely have to take some planning.

Regards... Jim P.
