This Croc actually hangs on the wall swimming down at about 45 degree angle. I thought the pictures looked better like this so you could see how colorful he is.

SGraves155Very nice. Is he about 4 meters/13.2 ft? or bigger?

graybirdJerry,
Is there some indication on the scales of what the original color was on the croc, or do you just go with a 'feel'? Just wondering how you decide the correct colors.
Beauty of a mount!!!

Graybird,
As far as coloring goes , I never do anything from memory or just feel, I always use lots of live reference photos, reference will show that they vary greatly in color. A lot of clear close up pictures from the hunter would help.

Cactus Kingwhat does the average gator mount go for? around $300 a foot? I've always wanted to get one mounted with the tip of its tail in the corner of the ceiling and its head on a floor base, like its swimming.
