Finally finished my Salty's kit

Hi Guys,

After painting, stripping and repainting this thing twice, then having the epoxy set up on me before I was finished, I finally got it half way presentable. My wife couldn't care less so I thought I'd show you guys.

Nice job on the paint. Scales look great and nice, classic solors!

Looks great! I like the gold and purple, or should it be "Gorple".

sweet pluggage!!

Scales are great. excellent colors.

Fish dont care about the fine details anyway, only fisherman!

You might want to ditch the split rings and go with cut hooks, they will foul less, just my 2 cents.
