In.
I have a vision of another smaller animal speared by the horn. Don't make the unicorn angry. Bonus points if the horn lights up, plays music, and spews glitter. |

In South Africa and Namibia, our guide, who fought in Rhodesia, called them Gemsbok. It's close to $60 per horn, and I'm not giving up one of mine. We can make one. May take some work, but it's the same process we use for fixing antlers and antelope horns that are damaged. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/1292/IMG_20130307_105832_000-289389.jpg After painting..... https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/1292/IMG_20130311_091115_315-289390.jpg View Quote Taxidermy is an art by all means. |

Consider if they consider carving a marble statue of a human art?

Remember the zebra form from the end of the shuttle thread. This should be epic.

Wish I had you as an art teacher. Mine would fall asleep drunk at least a couple times a week. She'd set up a table with some random shit that was painted white and throw a light on it. That was about as exciting as it got.

I'm in for a unicorn t-shirt. Wish I'd known about the project shirts that came before the Shuttle, though.

It's going to be fabulous, I can feel it.
Seriously though, awesome project! |

Huh... here and I thought people used the two names for the same animal. I feel stupid. From a long freaking time ago.... 2004 https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/1292/gemsbok-289428.jpg View Quote This one is just asleep, darted from a helicopter and is a cow. Yeah thats me. Attached File This one was killed by a hunter on the ranch I work on. Attached File Scimitar oryx a picture I took last spring. Attached File |

op, if they ban you from the show please provide their contact info on here. They have no idea the hell they would unleash if that happened.

Not sure what is going to be more interesting the progress of the build or the faces of the powers that be when they finally see it.

Op...
You're winning the arfcom award for badassedness and creativity today. |

Dude... I guarantee you people would pay GOOD money for a well-done unicorn shoulder mount. I don't know where you'd find horse capes to make it look realistic but there has to be a source out there somewhere. View Quote If a snow leopard can be "made" a horse should be simple in comparison-but still a lot of work. Looking forward to this! |

Sea Kittens! Oh, you have to do sea kittens. Appease the PETA (no, not the People Eating Tasty Animals crew, the other ones) with gen-u-ine kittens from the Sundance Sea. (Note: you might have to work out how to taxidermy scaly animals, but, you know, it's good experience for the kids.) :-D

I spent way to much money on the form as it is. African forms are stupid expensive. A full body would be over a grand, easy. Thats a little excessive to make a statement. View Quote |

Too bad it's not a full body. You could have made it lift it's tail and fart glitter. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

No shit; we are talking about using it on the insides of the nose and ears, possibly the lips. ETA: Beaten, and with the better idea of including a motion detector. |

In a world where shit on a canvas will be hailed as art they actually want to say that taxidermy isn't

Not sure on length but they did that already(well, the skeleton anyway) and it was awesome. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

Can we make this thread a sticky to make it an epic following?
(sticky till it's completed at least.) |

If you are doing the horn from epoxy it would be easy to incorporate some fiber optics or LEDs in the horn.

Tag.
Ide provide you with the pics for reference I had of a unicorn when I was on my squatch expedition, but I had an appointment and in my hastiness of being on time I accidentally deleted the pics. They were pretty good ones though. Believe me. |

Fucking libtards in education.
Good on you for throwing it right back at them! I hope you can find most things to be a real animal parts. Get yourselves on the news, local and national, should it turn into a shit show. |

Neat!
Next year you could do a sculpture of Chief Little Wolf. With a freshly tanned buffalo robe, tanned deer skin mocs and clothing,, turkey feathers, sinew, bone ornaments, etc. Maybe throw in a little history of the Cheyenne's use of animal products. With attributions to the hunters and ranchers who provide genuine animal products for the project. |

Bad ass. Requires a sufficiently bad ass horn... but where does one get one?

Edited OP: Video in OP of past transgressions that probably caused the pushback last year.

Oooooooooooooooooo. I like that. Going to need the kids to do some serious shopping for fiber and LEDs today. View Quote |

Awesome project idea, I look forward to seeing how this evolves.
Is the mirror skin going to be like a disco ball or mirror scales? |
|
No offense to the ignorant SJW's but it's probably some of the earliest knownform of art other than handing painting on rock walls. Gosh forbid people expand their horizon's a little.
