Scratchie Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 G’day raiders, Today I went and picked up my snapper mount. Something that I’ve wanted for a long time and the wait has been pain staking. But what a job this guy did. Every scale is hand painted and it takes 50 hours or more to create this master piece. Add in the 50,000 plus casts it took me to catch the bugger, it’s a lifetime in the making! If you ever want to have your fish immortalised, then send me a pm and I’ll pass on the info! cheers scratchie!!! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
