Who knows a taxidermist?
I want to comission one to make a Fox waiter for me.

I want it to carry a cocktail shaker and a tray for drinks.
It should ideally be dressed as a Huntsman, but a Regency valet is also acceptable.

I am going to call it Filbert.

I was going to learn it.
Can you wait a year?

edit: Having read Rob's post, that sounds much better.

Cheers I am emailing them now.

(I helped save b3ta! WormuIus, Fri 29 May 2009, 9:35, archived)
I am of course telling fibs
My only contact with them is walking past their shop in Islington and going "ha! taxidermy!"

Dear Sirs,

I was passed your details by Rob Manuel, who recommended you after he
heard about my project.

Long story short, I am looking for a 'Fox Waiter'

A fox, posed to stand on its rear legs holding a tray for drinks.
The fox should ideally be dressed as a hunstman but a regency valet is
also fine.

I don't know if this is the sort of thing you can help with.
Please advise.

Best wishes,


(I helped save b3ta! WormuIus, Fri 29 May 2009, 9:38, archived)
Do you have to provide the fox?

(PsychoChomp, Fri 29 May 2009, 9:39, archived)
I fucking hope not.
I'm sure they have foxes in stock.

Are you going to take some breath mints and deoderant tomorrow?
I think we could do with handing them round.
(PsychoChomp, Fri 29 May 2009, 9:41, archived)
I wonder what that would cost?
I doubt it would be cheap. £1k ?

I was talking to Madame Marlboro about this
She has a posed Squirrel on a plinth and she said it was only a couple of hundred.

Maybe foxes are a luxury item.

a fox is a lot larger than a squirrel
also commissioning something rather than buying off the shelf is always going to be pricey

edit: this place lists cats at nearly a grand and says you need to call for an estimate on larger animals: www.taxidermy.co.uk/assets/taxidermy_pricing.htm

Damn my affectations!

(I helped save b3ta! WormuIus, Fri 29 May 2009, 9:53, archived)
wait, 800 for a cat but an extra 150 if it was a pet?

(I helped save b3ta! sleepybinky, Fri 29 May 2009, 9:57, archived)
they need to make it look like the pet you remember
which is extra work - sounds fair enough to me
