sculptorThank you. It is a Dwarft Forest Buffalo from the Central African Republic; they are smaller and thinner in body and mass than any other type of buffalo. My client is a hunter and collector who hunts globally. I have also mounted for him a life sized Cape Buffalo, L.S. Water Buffalo, L.S. Bison and a rare L.S European Wisset Bison he shot in Bulgaria. I have also done over a hundred other live size mounts for him so far including a very nice Mountain Nyala. I do not have to make bases because he is building a museum type trophy room. He always tells me never to mention his name so I do not. I am VERY thankfull for his business of course.

Mary Hilliard-KruegerNice mount, Jim. Would love to see that finished trophy room, but certainly respect your clients request for anonymity.
Was recently on your website. Did you finish J.C.?
Kind regards,
Mary

Thanks, not yet. They haven't yet finished remodeling the building its going on so its been slow going on my part also. For others info I am sculpting a 3/4 size Christ cruxified for my local Catholic Church. Thanks again for all the kind comments. Jim
