my first thru-wire

Im on the west coast so trout are the main food source. The stripers are real finicky and smart....so this is my own creation, first time i ran a thru-wire and my first time ive used a airbrush. i usually rattle can them. the air compressor i have sucks and it wouldnt keep constant air pressure. i used a createx pearl kit and mixed my own colors. im letting it dry over night then resin tomorrow with some rainbow glittler to tonethe spots on the sides down and look like scales. let me know what you think...
