    As usual, very inspirational fish on here. I always hate to post my attempts but I can see progress as a result if what I see on here it helps me to push on. Here's mine this wk. A custom molded smallmouth w/ still life lenses/pearl x /liquid scales/ charcoal/and, yes, even some airbrush work. Just comercial work but I hope he likes it. It's for a first time client for his sons Christmas .

    Beautiful LMB Joey! This is one of the strongest TWIFP in a long time. I've got a Lake Country Wiper and a Lake Country Crappie.

    I like em booth Cole but like the Crappie the best. probably cause I find replica crappie to be one of the most challenging fish I do.


    Oliver quit holding that marlin back before he gets mad and sticks his beak in ya...LOL That looks great..

    Beautiful work Oliver, along with a great mouth interior! Are you able to get both detail and moderate coverage with your Iwata Revolution? Would you buy another one?

    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Thank's for the kind words everybody. Jeff, I'm really happy with that airbrush. I have two needles for it, 0,3 and 0,5mm. With the bigger One you get good results in spraying bigger areas. Of course for the Marlin I also used a big spraygun. The Iwata is what I use most, I also have different other airbrushes from a German factory and a Renegade with à very Fine tip.
