Default Bass Progress (but slow)
Here's a few pics on the last work on the base presentation. The lilypads are done and the mounting portion completed. I like to do this BEFORE painting the fish in case I miss the hole placement and then can repair without the need to repaint.

Thanks for including the close up of the way you mounted it. I wouldn't have ever figured that out. Also interesting to see all of those scales so close up.
Great to watch this come about with the step-by-steps.

Your progress may be taking a while but the results are definitely worth the extra time. Very realistic piece of carving and I really like the way you're laying out your display.

Al,
That is looking better and better. It is nice to follow with all the step by steps. The results are most definitely worth the wait! Can't wait to see it finished.
