Still work in progress mate, have run out of bog. Waiting for shops to reopen. Intention is to fill and shape head and jaw, then give it a paint.

Out of interest Adam, why do you cut the honey comb bit out?]]> Thu, 23 Apr 2020 13:24:02 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133287&PID=1781838&title=marlin-bill-mount#1781838 <![CDATA[Marlin bill mount : Ive got 3 on the go at the moment,...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133287&PID=1781749&title=marlin-bill-mount#1781749 Author: Adam Scott

Ive got 3 on the go at the moment, looks like you've done it well yknot. Cut the honey comb out, this needs a bit more. Washing powder is good for cleaning the final bit. Can use Polystyrene to fill in the inside, car bog the gaps then resin, or even cut cardboard to fit the roof of the mouth then resin with a sprinkle of sand. Paint or skin it to the bone.
Paint finish below(cardboard roof of mouth).

Bone finish below


Stripey, Black and Blue bills done.

Polystyrene is a lot easier to cut and shape than wood. Then resin.
