After I'd completed the Flying Cow project I had a spare cow head just lying around doing nothing. "Trophy Cow" I thought. And so, without further ado, I present this special, members only download. It fits on a single page and only takes a few minutes to do but the result is quite cute I hope you'll agree.


Print out the colour or mono version onto a single sheet of thin card (230 micron / 67lb) Score along the dotted and dashed lines then carefully cut out the pieces.


Starting from the top of the shield, fold over and glue down the tabs to make a right angled triangle. After the top, fold down and glue the two sides then the four sections of the curve.


Complete the shield by adding the hanger as shown above.


Fold up and glue together the neck.


Assemble the head and the horns


Glue the horns to the head, glue on the eyes then glue the fringe into place.


Glue the neck to the grey area on the shield.


Complete the trophy by adding the head to the neck. 

Find a suitable place to hang your trophy cow.

it is a fun quick model and you can take the design of the shield piece and put whatever head you wanted on it and make  like a trophy t-rex or even a trophy mouse if you choose

With a slight color change, this following song fits this paper model.

 

The Hunting Song

  by Tom Lehrer

 

Almost every day during the hunting season you see at least one item in the newspapers about somebody who has shot somebody else, under the impression that he was a deer with a red hat perhaps, a large flesh-colored squirrel. at any rate, it seems to me that this marks an encouraging new trend in the field of blood sports, and deserves a new type of hunting song which I present herewith

 

I always will remember,

’twas a year ago november,

I went out to hunt some deer

On a mornin’ bright and clear.

I went and shot the maximum the game laws would allow,

Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow.

 

I was in no mood to trifle,

I took down my trusty rifle

And went out to stalk my prey.

What a haul I made that day.

I tied them to my fender, and I drove them home somehow,

Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow.

 

The law was very firm, it

Took away my permit,

The worst punishment I ever endured.

It turned out there was a reason,

Cows were out of season,

And one of the hunters wasn’t insured.

 

People ask me how I do it,

And I say, there’s nothin’ to it,

You just stand there lookin’ cute,

And when something moves, you shoot!

And there’s ten stuffed heads in my trophy room right now,

Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a pure-bred guernsey cow.

 
Search on-line to hear the song. I chuckle every time I remember this song.
