Well, I spent my snow day yesterday coming up with this, took a few hours to burnish the scales in, but I think the effort was worth it, just have to wire it tomorrow and I'll call it good, I ended up carving the mackerel pattern in a piece of cardboard and making a stencil. I think it turned out pretty good.:kewl:

Looks great. Did you clear epoxy the blank first then glue stencil ,add foil, epoxy then paint? I have some blanks ready for color. Might just try one w/ foil.

yup. It was a primed blank, then all that other stuff you said and then topped off with another thin layer of devcon 2 ton.

johnny..That looks freikin awesome:claps:

Nice Job there Johnny how quickly you are expanding your techniques. You are completely hooked now and all your free time is gone forever.

that will get you on the boat...:tooth:


nice job!!!

I tried that method about 2 years ago and gave up on it. I think i need to try it again. Some of the Japanese builders make some incredible foil plugs.
