Each reptile is cast using an intricate process that allows the reptiles to look like they are literally alive. Wires are cast into each toe or claw to give them extra strength. Minor flashing at the base is the only clean up you have to do to ready the replica for painting. Each replica comes complete with a detailed paint chart to aid in the painting process. Many of these replicas are endangered species but the original specimens were obtained legally for use as a reproduction. They can be used in habitat scenes, in schools for educational purposes, and in zoos for identification. These replicas come unfinished with the flash still on. Some that are on bases have little or no clean up required. The bottoms of most replicas are foam for easy dressing down with a Dremel Tool. The eyes can also be drilled out and a replacement glass eye put in place with epoxy.
Complete your replica mount with premium quality Reptile glass eyes. The replicas are then ready to prime and paint. For species with very small eyes, the eyes can be painted directly on the replica with a spot of gloss or epoxy for a very realistic effect.
