The Process
Our fish and turtles are made with care and great attention to detail, using the highest quality molds and top grade fibreglass mat.
Every item is individually hand made and hand painted. This allows us to maintain our high standards, and gives each fish a unique look, as even though there is a shoal of them, every fish will be slightly different, owing the hand painting and hand shaping.
The molds are specially shaped to allow the best and lifelike pose of the marine animal, to enable hanging directly on to a wall, or for mounting onto a block or mount.
Once the fish has been manufactured in fiberglass, it is inspected for blemishes, and the glass eyes are fitted. It is then cleaned well to remove all traces of product and sent off the be painted.
We only use top quality automotive paint. This ensures that your replica will last for years, and maintain it’s colour and integrity without fading or discolouring. We apply a primer, a base coat and then clearcoat in a durable glossy finish, which enhances the colours of the fish. Should you prefer an ultra high gloss finish, please specify as we will try and accommodate your request.
We have studied fish species from all over the world, and offer a range of species and colours in most of our molds. If you would like a special fish to be painted from a photo, please contact us and we will custom paint one for you.
