13 lb Rainbow with "fixed" tail

[fishmounter]

Here is a big Rainbow that I mounted that had a typical stubby tail that almost all the big Rainbows have. The customer ask me to repair it so it would look normal and full. It takes some work with fiberglass, resin, bondo and another mold of a good tail, but it turns out looking pretty good. Also has hand-painted gold and silver scales across the back and sides.

Turned out looking like a plump holdover.

You do nice work dawg, a much better looking fish than the mutilated ones that are being planted around here.

Wow, huge talent and insight!!! He has a birght future. He should License it with a clothing company...that would really get it out there and make his hand painting worth a ton. I have a friend that did that. Now he's a multi millionare and had Paris Hilton at his grand opening.

I've seen your son's stuff before. He does some great art, as do you :) Your son should get you a showing in downtown LA. The urbanites would love the irony.

Another great piece of work there. The detail on those fish are just killer.
