my first thru-wire
 

Im on the west coast so trout are the main food source. The stripers are real finicky and smart....so this is my own creation, first time i ran a thru-wire and my first time ive used a airbrush. i usually rattle can them. the air compressor i have sucks and it wouldnt keep constant air pressure. i used a createx pearl kit and mixed my own colors. im letting it dry over night then resin tomorrow with some rainbow glittler to tonethe spots on the sides down and look like scales. let me know what you think...

Thats really nice, how did you do all the spots? Swim it yet?

i used a wooden shishkabob stick i had in the kitchen and smashed the end into the ground. then just dipped it in the black airbrush paint i had. the eyes i did the dip the nail head trick. i havent swam this one yet but ive done a few similar. im not going to epoxy the lip in yet, i have a couple im going to try when i swim it. ill get video of it when i do test it out.

I think you're good at this and look forward to seeing more of your stuff as you gain experience.

ive got some others im in the process of making. ive got a 9 inch that is like the one pictured just bigger and a 5 inch that i will make in a juvinile trout pattern for up in the sierras for big rainbows and browns this summer. i just need to get a better regulator for my compressor.
