Assistance w/ blue cat blank size

[FinMaster Mounts]

Most of my catalogs are somewhat dated and I know many folks on this forum have gotten into creating some fabulous blanks but do not "advertise" that much (I can understand that)

Am seeking a good blank for a blue cat;  44-45 inches long and 35 inch plus girth - yes - a REAL pot belly.  My young grandson caught it yesterday and I wanted to do a blank for him for Xmas. (I was with him & his dad and did the measurements)

The measurements are not absolutely critical (as we have discussed here before) but I do want to get close and definitely one w/ a pot belly.

If any of y'all can recommend a potential supplier I sure would appreciate it - thinner (even semi- transpar) fins and mouth detail would be great but I'll work w/ what I can get.

Thanks all very much - PM or post here is appreciated; hopefully a pic can also be provided.

Archie Phillips has one 46 x 34 #BL- 485
McKenzie has Matt Thompson blanks 44x31 #MTCFBC 44
WASCO has 46 x 34 which its the same blank from Phillip's

bevs fish creations has a decent one. fins are thick which is ok by me. It took me a while, but I have seen how better that can sometimes be(esp with kids)...mouth detail needs work... seam is sunk in some along the belly(easy fix...side detail is great. Here it is as I finished it.

 ...I think it is 44x34 or about

Thanks JA - I had asked Bev for a pic but I suppose she has apparently been pretty busy..........

For a big inventory I realize it can be a pain for the supplier but pics of blanks are truly a selling point - to me anyway.  Different fish sometimes have different characteristice and being able to see the poses helps a purchase decision greatly to be a bit more responsive to a customer.

Your pic is appreciated - pretty well represents the fish.  I have used her before - know the mouth needs "work"

Thanks all.

Bevs the fins are not always thick, maybe just that one.. But thick fins are an easy fix. Very easy fix.

"Thick" is relative w/ a beast this size !?!?!?!?

Am still very open to any other options/potential suppliers.  Noticed Mike @ New Wave has a large one on web page so I sent Jenn a quick note.

Thick in this case was edges. bases were fine. edges where 1/8 thick . But as said easy as it gets to fix.

And that was only on the paired fins that were thick. Tail, vent and dorsal fins were fine. It was a great Blank for the price> Make that super for the price.
