Making fish moulds

Gday Queensland, Australia

This is my first time on Taxidermy.net what an awesome, informative website

I would like to know if there is any one easy way in which to make a accurate fish mould. Do you make a cast and then fill the cast with fibreglass or foam resin. I am new to fish taxidermy and any tips would be helpful. I have been doing my own game head taxidermy since I was a kid but shooting roos and pigs for a living sort of put that on hold. Now that I am back hunting I have regained the interest to the point where I am working at doing taxidermy for clients. We have a website called www.aussiepighunting.com.au if anybody would like to check it out. Send in some pics if you like and I will put an overseas photos page on so that you can brag to the aussies.

Anyway I would appreciate any answers to my questions.
