**Week 1** **| Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 |** **Week 6**

**Week Six: 8/25/08 - 8/29/08**
On Monday of week 6 students finished prepping their fish for painting. This included final touches on fin prep,
attaching cast heads to the cold water fish and final prepping on fiberglass reproductions.
Instructor then gave demonstrations on fish painting, and each student took several turns at the paint booth.
In-between turns at the paint booth, students worked on the glass cases that were assembled last week. Tape was taken off, and glass was cleaned. It was then time to finish the snow & ice scenes in the matching bases.
Once that was complete, it was a great feeling to get to put the glass top on the completed base!
Students also completed any final grooming & tweaking that needed done on their mounts.
On Friday, the fish were dry and ready for the 3 required coats of finishing gloss. Taking turns at the paint booth, they quickly completed this final step, then sat their fish out to dry. While the fish were drying, we all took a nice, relaxing lunch break. After lunch, each student posed for final photos, then worked on packing up their mounts. Finally when everything was done, students all pitched in for one last shop cleanup!
