DIY Fish Head Mount

Borax + water and a lot of drying time yields a pretty nice, do it yourself head mount with a lot of personality. Another nice ling out of Depot Bay, Oregon.

Lingcod Reference Cast

Molding and casting a lingcod head half cast for reference.

This ling was caught outside of Depot Bay, Oregon in June. The head was removed during filleting, cleaned and bedded in fibre. The mold was cast in paster and cast in fiberglass resin.

The finish, cleaned up with a Dremel, primed and slightly antiqued by dry brushing with acrylic paint.
