That little fish got some fossil sauce too to make it pop. So did the shrimp and also a little bit of help with the air scribe. RB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Rocket, I was very scared of the teeth and saved those for last. For anyone who watched the video, the teeth were a 4.5 hour job just by themselves!

I do have a great tiny lizard in prep for the moment, tooth are approx 3 mm and very thin. Think I loose on kilo of my body by sweating with every one of this. (thats not really bad after christmas)... You did a really great job! Thats upper prep-class and a absolutley outstanding collection piece 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just like art or sculpture. I have only just bought an air scribe, but will never be able to prep like you and others on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
