RJB Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Im still working on getting an air dryer, but still working on fossil fishy's. Here are two Phareodus fishy's ive been working on and ive got another one but that one still has a long way to go. Ive really got too many fossil projects, but for me, thats a good thing. Keeps me busy and out of the bars. I also havent been to a bar for about 20 years. Oh, the fish in the background just needs a little bit of clean up around the jaws mostly but the bottom fish needs a lot of fin work still. Hoping the fins on that one are better than what it seems?

Darktooth Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Wow Ron those are beauties! I haven't seen fossil fish that look like this before. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailingAlongToo Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I don't have the patience to do this, but I can definitely recognize the talent and quality of work.

Ptychodus04 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Those are terrible and I think you should send them to me for disposal.

Sagebrush Steve Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 They look great to me! And how do you manage to get such fabulous specimens? Mine looks like something the cat dragged in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Those are some awesome fish and excellent work on the prep. Would love to know how you do it. I have a few I am going to try. @RJB You really need to get out more often. It's been about that same length of time since I was out to a bar.
