Really take to these that I cast in PR after I under turned some Curly Maple, applied 2 coats of MINWAX Clear Gloss Poly, applied the water slide decals, cast in PR, turned, sanded 400 grit only and polished with Hut Ultra Gloss.
Dressed up in Gold/Black Sierra's.

I do quite a lot of these, for a group of scientists involved with fish, a very good seller.

They would sell very well near to me as I live close to Blagdon and Chew Valley Lakes which are very big trout lakes and nowadays Pike lakes as well.

Les, I've been playing about with decals for a while, I even got Testors decals from the states, but I always have trouble with air bubbles under the decal no matter how carefully I smooth out the decal. Do you get this problem and if so, how do you avoid it?

There are a couple of tutorials in the IAP Library for feathers.

They are commissions, you will not see them unless one of the owners shows it to you:thumbs:
