I didn't find about this request until after the initial airbrushing was done. So I have the spotting process pictures taken. Nothing really fancy here. I do it with a standard "sharpie" marker. It does get to your mind when you are doing it for so long. When I get my fancy airbrush, I will be doing the spots with that. You can see in the pics where the original spots show through. You just need to hit them again to highlight them. These fall kings are the worst since they have thousands of spots. After 20 mins. 1 hour 1 hour 45 mins There was a total of 2 hours 10 mins in the spots alone counting the spots on the head. Done, with teeth added. Both still need to have the gloss coats added. I'll get good pics up when done. The Steelhead

Plus you have to hold your head at weird angles so the light hits the mount in a way that the original spots show through. I'm hoping it warms up here soon so I can get these clear coats on. Today is the last day I have to do it according to the forecasts.
