I'm going to steal some of Anthony's thunder as he sent me pictures and I just wanted to share them. (Maxwell Widlife Artistry in Ceres, CA) Anthony says it should be done in less than two weeks. Here's the basic form with my horns installed  Here's the form with the neck hump being built up. My PH said that my bull weighed close to 800 Kilos (1,760 Lbs) and carried all the extra weight in his neck and shoulders.  Here's where the face is built up with clay.  Here's where the skin is pulled on, almost done!.  Frank "I don't know what there is about buffalo that frightens me so.....He looks like he hates you personally.

He's going to look great, Frank. I can't wait to see the finished job. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Give me the simple life; an AK-47, a good guard dog and a nymphomaniac who owns a liquor store. | |||

Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

Very cool Fjold and Anthony! Can't wait until later this year when my buffalo will be showing up from Mozambique for Anthony to work his magic on. ____________________________ If you died tomorrow, what would you have done today ... 2018 Zimbabwe - Tuskless w/ Nengasha Safaris 2011 Mozambique - Buffalo w/ Mashambanzou Safaris | |||

Superb mount Frank... I liked him in your trophy pix but you are gonna love him on your wall! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||
