Burbot fish blanks designed for lifelike recreations

Burbot (Lota lota)—the only freshwater cod—demand accurate head geometry, a single chin barbel, elongated body with continuous dorsal/anal fin flow, and mottled skin texture. Our Burbot fish blanks capture those traits with clean seams and subtle surface transitions so glazes, pearls, and varnish read naturally in studio photos and lodge lighting.

Our blanks are the foundation for an ultra realistic Burbot mount

This precision-cast polyurethane blank is engineered for museum-grade reproductions and competition-ready mounts. Continuous fin run, correct cranial profile, and balanced body proportions help artists achieve natural mottling and sheen—perfect for trophy-class commissions and cold-water habitat scenes.

What makes this Burbot fish blank world-class?

Every Burbot fish blank is molded and hand-finished by specialists who prioritize detail and quality over volume. Expect a crisp, accurate chin barbel, matched gill and fin fit, subtle skin texture that takes transparent layers beautifully, and fin rays that accept heat-shaping. The result: premium Burbot reproductions that look alive under studio lights and in natural light—ideal for high-end clients, lodges, and museums.

Do these Burbot blanks support a true 360° display?

Yes. Each Waters by Klaus fish blank is engineered for left- or right-presentation and full 360° pedestal display without silhouette or seam compromise—ideal for freestanding bases, shelves, and competition pedestals.

Which build options can I order?

• Unassembled: Ships as detailed components for shops that prefer their own seam, fin, and pose refinement prior to paint. Maximum creative control for specialist fish taxidermists.
• Assembled (Ready to Paint): Professionally assembled and seam-finished at our factory. Unbox, prep, prime, and paint—saving hours per mount and keeping production on schedule.

What sizes and specs are available?

Our  Burbot blanks cover common lengths and girths with multiple head/mouth variations. Final dimensions and SKUs vary by model; check the product table for current size runs and availability.
