I may have put this pic up several years ago, but it's a nice replica so I'll share it again. Basically it has only 3 paint colors. Black, red and white. Teeth were individually hand-sculpted epoxy putty.
This is the fish before being sprayed the finishing gloss:

Do you have to have a "body" or can you make the fish from photos and measurements?

That's really nice. Is a sheepshead a type of wrass?

Very good City Dad! It is a large Wrasse of the Eastern Pacific.
