Reproductions, Replicas, and Silhouettes

Some reasons for these artificial art products of natures creatures are : Catch and Release, multiple pieces, quality, longivity,  and commercial purposes.

Reproductions - real casts off of real specimens (exact copies). They are made of synthetic materials (fiberglass, plastics, epoxies, etc.) Some reproductions are made because  the real skins are not suitable for regular taxidermy, due to oils, unstable skin, or other problems.

Replicas -  casts made from molds of sculpted or carved artistic models. These could be actual size or any size; any prehistoric or modern day species.

Catch and Release is great conservation & leaves more fish that can grow to trophy size. Some sportsmen & governments believe & set aside certain bodies of water for catch & release fishing only. If you caught a fish trophy in years past and released it, ate it, or it spoiled, etc. We can get you most species, close to your fish's size & paint it to look like what you caught. A photo helps but is not necessary. Although a "repro" is not the real deal, it is actually a better piece of art. It usually has better details throughout. The piece will last more years than a skin mount & is easier to wash and clean. It will cost more than a skin mount. If you want an exact or several reproductions of your actual fish it can be done but is costly. If this is desired, wrap it in plastic, then wet cloth & freeze solid. (DO NOT CUT OPEN)
