For starters i think you did a really nice job and it looks great.

As far as your question goes I don't particularly care for habitat in mounts and for the price of the habitat ($100) vs. a new cape ($75-$90) i would have gone with the new cape. just my  :twocents:

Chris - thanks for the input. I understand about the habitat. Not for everyone. I have started getting to the point I am liking it a lil more now. I myself have so many things on the wall, starting to look at it more and more to break up all the mounts.

I have nothing on the wall  :(

Well hopefully you will take one of each this year.

I think the habitat does a great job in covering it up and would look great on the wall

Looks Great!  If you wouldn't have shown the before and after I would have never known. 


I think the habitat looks great.  I prefer to have my own cape, damaged or not.   I also don't prefer repaired points even if the break occurred during the kill or after.  Just personal preference; the mounts are mainly to bring back fond memories over and over.

Agree.

Covering up damage or not, GREAT JOB!   I think you did a fantastic job covering up the mess.   I can't believe thats all you charged for that habitat scene.  I'm certain you ahve another satisfied customer.

I have had to drag a few and lost the hair similar to that one.  Nice looking deer.
Cut em!

Thanks all for the kinds words.

Covering up damage or not, GREAT JOB!   I think you did a fantastic job covering up the mess.   I can't believe thats all you charged for that habitat scene.  I'm certain you ahve another satisfied customer.


Boneaddict.  I made 20.00 off the habitat so I am totally happy with it. I have been trying to figure my time and what it is worth, and I am not doing that good in that area. And he was extremely happy.  I actually enjoy the look on some of the peoples faces when they see their animal.

Thanks

I think the habitat looks great.  New cape not necessary.
