Price range: $82.50 through $231.00
Museum-Quality Fish Replica Mounts for Taxidermists, Anglers & Collectors
Elevate your mounts with our 3D printed Bluegill reproductions—cutting-edge fish replica mounts built for professional taxidermists and display artists. These forms combine the unmatched anatomical accuracy of modern 3D print fish technology with the structural reliability of traditional casting methods.
Unlike conventional molded blanks, our aquatic reproductions are digitally sculpted and produced using high-resolution fishing 3D print processes. This results in sharper detail, consistent symmetry, and surface textures that accept paint cleanly and naturally. The forms are professionally assembled at our facility, with only the pectoral fins left for customer installation—providing a perfect balance of precision craftsmanship and pose customization.
Note: Assembled blanks shown with gray antiqued primer to highlight detail. Product ships unpainted. Reproduction eyes not included; see product table for sizing.

Why 3D Aquatic Reproductions?
Our 3D Aquatic Reproductions represent the next generation of fish replicas—digitally mastered and manufactured to eliminate many of the inconsistencies found in traditionally molded blanks. Each Bluegill reproduction is derived from anatomically accurate digital models, ensuring lifelike body depth, saucer profile, and clean scale transitions across all sizes.
The result is a museum-grade mount foundation that saves time without compromising quality. Fins are thin, flexible, and heat-shapeable for custom posing. Seam lines are minimal and clean, reducing prep work and allowing you to focus on artistic finishing.
Engineered for Lifelike Results
The Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) is a favorite among taxidermists and anglers due to its distinct anatomy, deep body shape, and sharp dorsal spines. Our fish replicas accurately capture these signature features—including realistic gill cover details, true-to-life opercular flaps, and smooth cheek-to-body scale transitions.
Each form is engineered for natural color flow, so your airbrush or hand-painted finish reads as alive and anatomically correct from every angle. Whether wall-mounted, pedestal-displayed, or showcased freestanding, these 3D printed fish hold their silhouette and detail at 360°.
A Hybrid Build for Optimal Efficiency & Flexibility
Each Bluegill replica arrives fully assembled except for the pectoral fins, which are designed for easy installation and custom posing. This hybrid approach saves hours of seam and assembly work while giving artists the ability to tailor their fish’s expression and movement. It’s the best of both worlds: factory-finished precision with final-touch flexibility.What sizes and specifications are offered?
