“A tour de force is a French phrase meaning "feat of strength," used in English to describe an impressive, masterful performance, artwork, or achievement that displays great skill.” -AI
So, while this may look like another nice Jig upload from SurfaceIron.com. it’s really a tour de force by Gary “FishDog” Grant. His command of Airbrush techniques, knowledge of paints and discerning eye for colors are all on display here.
Another thing about a “FishDog” jig that they all have in common is that they’re all unique. They may look similar, but each of them is truly one of a kind.
In this current offering, the jigs range from some unstamped samples and good ol’ reliables to some really uncommon and even rare samples. When was the last time you saw a dual stamped Salas VAGY-OKY or Salas “AI” (how apropos). There’s also a bunch of Red Crab colors, which would be really handy if you’re going out anytime soon. Some of them are actually the sought after brass bodied type.
BTW, the two Tady 45’s are flat backs, for those of you that know what that means.
