Post by: cedarriver on May 04, 2013, 10:10:03 PM: Carp, 14 1/2 foot but missing about 2 foot of his tail. Would be in the 16 1/2 foot range, 61 inches circumference. Big croc now days, out of Tanzania. First one I ever done. Might like to take a look at my facebook page for more pics of the project. Measured skin at 14 1/2 ft. odered a 12 1/2- 13 ft form, not realizing some of the tail was missing. Had to make the form CONSIDERABLY larger. A lot of work! Then puttying and repainting missing scales on the head.
Thanks everyone!
Hope we can raise some good money on the auction.
