The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

i have a few wall plaques with fish on them and was wondering if i can make them the same way. i did not want to take the Rudd from the wood be course it could brake in pieces so i made wall round the fish with weatherstrip, put a thin layer Vaseline on the Rudd before i fill it up with 2 kilos of silicone, 32cm long, the plaster i used is very hard and after the first Rudd come out off the mold i was pleased with the result





all details are there




Next step is find the right colors to finish this Rudd for the wall

You are a clever and talented fellow Evert!
You've done a smashing job with that.

Very nice indeed Sir!

That's delightful Sir,

Thanks Gents i will post when finished in full color

Looking forward to seeing the end result.
Nice one

That's Ruddy clever!

Is there no end to your talents Evert.

Wal.

Sorry about the quality of the picture but I have a plaster/ceramic rudd which has been painted to look like brass Evert. I think it's quite effective and a lot easier than trying to match a rudd's natural colours

I know, you'll do it the hard way and make a brilliant job of it

Very nice Evert.
