Where did you find a small enough hook to catch him?

Can you be a little more specific as to what you did??? Is this painted, decal or something else??? No details there. It does look good. I wish the photos were abit brighter to really catch the colors. Thanks for showing.

I used a holographic decal on a black nickel tube. I tried to keep bubbles in the aluminite to simulate underwater, by not pressurizing, just air curing in the mold. I noticed I'm getting, what looks like a slight delamination in various areas. The tubes were washed with alcohol, fine steel wooled and washed again. I think the next batch I'll put in the pressure pot. I did use Aluminite water clear to do the casting.
