beautiful work. I like the fancy paint jobs. My problem is I am usually so far behind I never have time for anything other than pedestrian colors. One of these days I need to experiment more cause I really like the look you have there.

I have that book too. some nice inspiration in it.
I like the dace color a lot too, redwing blackbird, purple eel, and yellow flash.
regarding the factory conditions-we tend to get so caught up getting a high end airbrush and spending a lot of time perfecting the paint and layering etc. and finding just the right masking material scales etc, but those ladies did beautiful work with what appear to be rudimentary (by today's standards) airbrushes ans mesh screens-though it looks like many of their masking jigs (for gills and faces) were custom made metal masks.

Go Bears!
