Hey Gasman ...... I will send you a PM need some input so I can finish it completely or call it done.

Anyway, this is a super custom euro pedestal habitat mount I put together for gasman. He wanted something that could be put on the table or on the wall and I accomplished that by making the top turn on the base . I built that wood base with some rough cut I let weather so it looked like old barn boards. I then cleaned the skull as I would for a euro , degreased and whitetened , the whole bit . I hand made the rock , added some utah dirt  (I think thats where my buddy got the dirt and bunny tirds)  and put it all together. I thought the bunny tirds just added to the mount plus I think gasman would appreciate them  :chuckle: I actually didnt like the skull pure white so I did some painting to the skull to age it and make it look like its been in the desert for a while. I got pictures of it before I painted the skull.  Hope it is all you thought it would be Gasman, I know there isnt as much habitat as you may have wanted but I thought it may be too much on that small habitat. This was a fun project and hope to do more custom stuff like this if people would just let me!!

The first 2 pictures are with the skull before I painted it and made it old looking.

Wow, I love it! :tup:
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming, "WOO HOO! WHAT A RIDE!!"

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
