Shot a nice Civet rcently in DSA in zImbabwe, and am thinking of doing a full mount, anyone know of good forms? Have pictures of nice examples?

Thanks!

check with fish and wildlife 1st. i don't know if civets are on the no no list or not yet. but it would pay to check 1st

I am hoping to see some also. I have a hide just returned from the tannery and am waiting to get a good idea.
FYI -- No problem importing it.

Thanks Chris, yes, confirmed no issues into USA.

One idea, although maybe a bit OTT, is a box diorama, as a side table, with civet stalking a guinea fowl... Or eating it, which is actually how i found it in the bush...

Some ideas... But not crazy about them... http://www.lifeformtaxidermy.c...ics=../gallery/civet

I already saw those poses also. Was not impressed either.
Lifeform did a porcupine for me that turned out great.
They both came from my varmit safari.

Don't limit yourself only to the available forms on the market. Find some pictures of poses you like or come up with an idea of what pose you would like. Discuss these ideas with your taxidermist. A form can be purchased and altered to your needs. Any experienced taxidermist can radically alter a form to anatomic accuracy. You will, of course, pay additional fees for this procedure but will end up with a one of a kind mount.

Below is a picture of an altered bobcat form.The purchased form was the walking bobcat on the bottom. It was altered into the jumping form on the top.



Kind regards,
Mary

And that altered jumping bobcat became this multi-award winner:

once again, Chris's ( Mary's husband) artistic ability stands out. the Suni and Red Duiker full body mounts he did for me get more compliments in my trophy room than most other so called impressive animals. for sure he can alter standard forms for other species to satisfy your requirements.

Simply WOW!

OK, so my idea of the pouncing Civet on guinea fowl may be an idea?

I'm in the same boat. You don't see many civets around. As soon as I have the scratch together I'll be getting serious about getting mine finished.
