Re: Mu pics

Regarding the mount I think it's cool but the
Few mu I've shot (and this is reflected in some of
The pics posted) have a very noticeable dark contrasting
Outline or shadow to the scale pattern that extends
Down side of fish. I'm not being critical b/c
Everyone wants something different in a mount
But I'm constantly working with color, texture and shadows in my
Job and that's what jumped out that was lacking or you may have been looking
For on mount. Great fish and cool art either way!!

Re: Mu pics

I've made a bit of progress with the mount.
Unfortunately I had to quote sections of what we call the Consumers Garuantees Act, which, in a nutshell, protects consumers from faulty goods and blatant ripoffs, and ensures you get what you pay for.

The original taxidermist clearly doesn't trust himself to do a good job, so he offered to pay for another taxidermist to repaint it. Unfortunately for him, he's extremely cheap, and the taxidermist who will do the repaint isn't. He'll end up paying the other taxidermist about 65% of what I paid him.

I shot a 9.1lb hawaiin mu 2 days ago and eventually i think id love to have the mount, as long as the colors come out a little more lively than blairs haha
I know its late but if you still have the dimensions of the fish you might try Grey's taxidermy. I think their in Florida. When I used to work on the charter boats in Hawaii and a client wanted to get a fish mounted we would just send them the dimensions and they would ship a fiberglass mount to the client.
