For Iowawhitetail and all interested, The Fantasy Shed scores approx. 135 inches. It's a basic 6 pt. with a 5pt fused double beam and forked drop tine. It is from here in Ne. More accurately from my shop! When I started getting serious about restoring sheds I needed something for practicing different techiniques so it started life as a very weathered 70 inch 5pt with a broken beam. When I wanted to try something different I tried it out on it. One thing led to another and... a monster was born. It's a lot of Apoxie Sculpt and extra real tines from other antlers. The picture of it on page 1 of my site is how it looks
now. The page 3 pic was about a year ago with different texturing of the lower beam and different paint. Ishedhunt had me bring it to the classic for him to see. I had one heck of a time just getting to the shed display. I must of told this same story 30 times! I never try to pass it off as real, I just let peoples jaws drop for a couple seconds before I tell them it's fabricated. This is why it's called the Fantasy Shed. It was alot of fun and a learning experience to build and I am planning on building the match for it someday. Thanks for asking about it. Jay
