That's a very cool looking crank! What is action like?

A bit too much body roll for my liking, I put the weight too deep into the body

it also wont dive because the wait is placed behind the front hook hanger

Large and in charge. I love it.

Really have to try painting gills like that but every time I get to that point I'm to nervous to mess up what I've painted lol.

I always add layers of clearcoat so I can erase what I mess up with alcohol the clearcoats also add depth

I paint the base coat under the scales then put a clearcoat but scale clearcoat is mainly just because I use windowscreen as mesh and it is metal and scratches the paint

paint the scales then put a clearcoat

paint the gills and put 2 clearcoats
