As many people have stated before the detail I see on many of the baits here is incredible, there is a lot of talent here. I want to try to create more detail with painting and would like to know if someone can post some pictures showing the steps on how to create/paint gill plates and fins on the bait or point me in the direct of where I can find out how to do this. I would like to try this but I am not really sure how to start. Do you apply a layer of clear coat over the painted body before your start the gills and fins? Thanks in advance.
