Fixing mistake for Tumido crab

[RJB]

@Doctor Mud, Always nice to get a surprize like this.

 

@Ptychodus04, only problem is:  I dont have a car.  So problem solved.  Ha!!!

 

@ynot, im just glad I have a lot more patience now that im a bit older.

  Well, since its labor day, I decided to do some labor and finish up this crab.  Took 5 hours give or take 5 minutes to finish up.  Doing the 'cleanup' work was brutal!!!   So 54 hours of total time for this project.  Not bad for a beat up crab!!!  The rock repair came out purty darn good too?    All in all im quite happy with this crab.

Well done, Ron! The outcome seems to make all those long hours definitely worth it. This one is in really great shape, too. Excellent work as always.  

[RJB]

Thank you @Kane.   As you can see, Im gunna have to start rearanging things.  Running out of room.

Well, I am sure there is a (shipping) solution to running out of space  

 

You might have to start installing more shelving to hold all these beauties!

[RJB]

Hey @Kane, I still have a little bit of room, but someday I will run out of room.  Shipping?   I have a really hard time selling these.  I have sold several, but those were 'so-so' crabs.  i did sell one of my good ones a few years ago and I regret it.  Happens.

Yeah, another very nice Tumidocarcinus crabbie.  I like the color of this one.  How about some pics of the crabs on the shelf down below?

[RJB]

Hey @crabfossilsteve, what you really need to see is the shelf above these!   But I think youve already seen those.

Beautiful, as is typical for one of your preps! That display puts the Alaskan fishery to shame on the number of crabs present!

[fossilized6s]

Just breathtaking, Ron. The collection and the newly prepped addition!

[ynot]

Another well done crab!

Nice display too!

Funny how this thread started out as fixing a mistake when all along it was about creating a masterpiece.

 

Beautiful 

[RJB]

Thanks everybody.   and @Doctor Mud, they dont all turn out to be masterpieces.  Ive had some that turned out horrible, so its rather nice knowing when the one your workigng on turns out real nice.
