Services & Process

3D Custom Creations handles the full range of taxidermy work you'd expect from a Denver studio catering to Colorado's hunting and fishing community. Shoulder and pedestal mounts preserve the head and upper body of big game animals like elk and deer, with careful attention to eye placement and skin texture for a lifelike result. Fish mounts, whether skin mounts or reproductions, capture the color and form of your catch. They also handle bird mounts for waterfowl and upland species, plus skull cleaning to prepare antlers and horns for display.

Service Area

3D Custom Creations primarily serves Denver and the surrounding metro area, including communities like Aurora, Lakewood, and Englewood. Hunters driving back from Colorado's mountain units or eastern plains frequently stop here on their way home. The studio is accessible from major routes in and out of the city.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after harvesting my animal should I bring it in?
You should get your animal to the taxidermist as quickly as possible, ideally within a day or two of the harvest. If you can't make it right away, keep the hide cool and dry, or freeze it to prevent spoilage and hair slippage.
What's the difference between a skin mount and a reproduction for fish?
A skin mount uses the actual skin of your fish stretched over a form, while a reproduction is a fiberglass casting painted to match your catch's specific colors. Reproductions are popular for catch-and-release fish and tend to hold their color better over time.
How long does a typical big game shoulder mount take?
Most shoulder mounts take anywhere from six months to a year to complete, depending on the studio's current workload and the complexity of your request. It's worth asking for an estimated timeline when you drop off your specimen.
Can I request a specific pose or habitat base for my mount?
Yes, most taxidermists offer a range of pose options and can build custom habitat bases with materials like rocks, driftwood, or grass to match where you made your harvest. Discussing this upfront helps the taxidermist plan the mount correctly from the start.
Do I need a hunting license or tag receipt to have my animal mounted in Colorado?
Colorado Parks and Wildlife requires hunters to retain proof of a legal harvest, and reputable taxidermists may ask to see your tag or license information when you drop off a big game animal. It's always a good idea to bring your documentation along.
How should I care for a finished mount at home?
Keep your mount away from direct sunlight and high humidity, both of which can fade colors and dry out the hide over time. Light dusting with a soft brush is usually all the regular maintenance you'll need.
