[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1366005, member: 101755"] Sad to say but in the automotive industry I see this a lot...it's all about $$$$$$$$$ You seen in my earlier post the stuff I have done...wood work as well as metal...he has bashed me before on another thread for doing "embarrassing work"... I do for the enjoyment of doing something that looks great. I've also done taxidermy work in my garage and all done by hand. One day I went to see a guy about doing some part time work for him painting fish...his reply was I can't paint his fish like that! By the detail I put in my work, he said "to make a fish look that good it would take too much time and time is money!" I never went back into his shop! I painted this fish 20 years ago but just took this photo recently of a Redfish...[IMG]https://www.longrangehunting.com/attachments/2017-11-29-11-55-15-jpg.84529/[/IMG] The flash caused the blue in the tail to really come out...without the flash it looks black like it should... [IMG]https://www.longrangehunting.com/attachments/2017-11-29-11-55-52-jpg.84530/[/IMG] This was the second fish I ever mounted so yes there are a bunch of things that are wrong with the actual mount...but the paint just is really dead on...as I did more fish I learned to "flesh up" the lips and other areas that shrunk from the drying process... I need to take a couple pictures of some of the deer I've done...I've had people ask if I had done them for competiton! Any way point is its not all about the money... [/QUOTE]
