Striped Marlin Replica | Photo Matched Cobalt Blue Phase

A left-facing profile of a striped marlin replica shows the complete lit-up cobalt blue body, amber-gold flanks, and vertical cobalt bar stripes from rostrum to caudal fin, with the pectoral fins in a natural swimming position. No fish is required to commission a striped marlin replica at Florida Fish Mounts. The angler submits a catch photo and Greg Cassell matches the specific color phase, bar intensity, and individual markings visible at the moment of release in the finished commission. For the most accurate color match, an in-water tournament photo captures the species in its full lit-up state, before striped marlin go dark after the fight.

Striped Marlin Replica | Head and Bill Close-Up

This left-facing head close-up of a striped marlin replica shows the slender rostrum, the graduated color transition from cobalt blue on the nape to amber-gold on the jaw and operculum, and the gill collar detail painted by Greg Cassell. The rostrum of Kajikia audax is proportionally more slender and elongated than that of blue marlin, a species-specific morphological distinction visible at this scale and reproduced from the customer's submitted catch photo. The amber-gold jaw coloration and the cobalt-blue-to-teal shoulder transition are among the most complex color gradients in Pacific billfish reproduction. The color gradient and facial detail visible at this scale are each matched from the angler's catch photo without retaining the fish.

Striped Marlin Replica | Hand-Painted Glass Eye Detail

A close-up of the head on this striped marlin replica shows the hand-painted glass eye, the amber-gold jaw and cheek coloration, and the deep cobalt blue that covers the nape and cranial surface. The glass eye on every striped marlin commission at Florida Fish Mounts is individually hand-painted by Greg Cassell to match the species iris color and installed into the fiberglass blank, producing dimensional eye anatomy that a decal or cast-in eye cannot replicate. The amber-gold-to-cobalt color gradient visible in this frame is built up in multiple translucent automotive-grade airbrush layers over a pearl base coat. Every element visible here, from the glass eye to the jaw coloration, is artist-level work that production replicas do not achieve.

Striped Marlin Replica | Body Section, Vertical Bars and Dorsal Fin Detail

This body section of a striped marlin replica shows the cobalt blue dorsal surface, the vertical cobalt bar stripes running through the amber-gold flank, the electric purple base of the first dorsal fin at the top of the frame, and the pectoral fin folded naturally against the body. The archival fiberglass construction and automotive-grade airbrush finish that cover this surface do not fade, crack, or lose adhesion over time, unlike the water-based production paints used in factory replicas or the dried organic material of a skin mount. On a skin-mounted billfish, this section of the body and the fins are among the first areas to show color loss and structural deterioration as the material contracts and separates. The UV-resistant urethane clear coat that seals this surface preserves the cobalt, purple, and amber-gold tones at the level visible here without ongoing restoration.

Striped Marlin Replica | Body Section, Cobalt Bar Stripes and Dorsal Arc

This body section of a striped marlin replica shows the cobalt vertical bar stripes running through the amber-gold flank, the tonal boundary between the dark dorsal surface and the gold flank, and the arc of the electric purple first dorsal fin along the top of the frame. The 10 to 15 cobalt bar stripes characteristic of Kajikia audax are painted by Greg Cassell in a multi-stage automotive-grade airbrush process, with each bar edge defined in separate color layers over a translucent pearl base coat. The bar placement, bar width, and individual bar color intensity are reproduced from the customer's submitted catch photo. Striped marlin commissions from Florida Fish Mounts are available from 46 to 112 inches, starting at $10 per inch.

Striped Marlin Replica | Vertical Bar and Pectoral Fin Close-Up

At extreme close-up, the cobalt vertical bar stripes of this striped marlin replica show the edge definition, color saturation, and tonal depth built up in Greg Cassell's multi-stage automotive-grade airbrush process over a translucent pearl base coat. The pectoral fin, rendered in deep blue-black with a cobalt iridescent sheen, shows ray-by-ray detail that brush-applied or spray-can production methods cannot achieve. The amber-to-white ventral color transition visible across the lower portion of this frame is one of the most technically demanding gradients in Pacific billfish reproduction, executed here in multiple translucent airbrush layers. The tonal depth visible at this scale is produced using the same multi-stage pigment system used in automotive restoration work, not the single-stage spray typical of production replicas.

Striped Marlin Replica | First Dorsal Fin Close-Up

A close-up of the first dorsal fin on a striped marlin replica shows the individual fin rays, the serrated leading edge, and the electric purple to cobalt blue coloration that defines this fin in the lit-up color phase. The first dorsal fin of Kajikia audax matches body depth in height when fully raised, and it is the primary field identification feature that distinguishes striped marlin from blue marlin in the water. The electric purple coloration of this fin is one of the most recognized visual signatures of striped marlin during a fight and one of the primary paint targets at Florida Fish Mounts. Each fin ray is rendered individually by Greg Cassell, with the cobalt-blue and violet-purple tones built up in separate translucent layers over a pearl base coat.

Striped Marlin Replica | Tail Fin Close Up

The lunate caudal fin of this striped marlin replica shows the individual fin ray definition, the narrow caudal peduncle with its two lateral keels at the tail base, and the deep cobalt-to-midnight blue coloration across the tail surfaces. On a skin-mounted billfish, the caudal fin is where organic deterioration concentrates most visibly: fin rays separate, membrane cracks, and paint lifts as dried organic material contracts over years of display. The archival fiberglass construction and UV-resistant urethane clear coat that seal this tail maintain fin structure and color at the detail level visible here without ongoing restoration. The narrow caudal peduncle and rigid keel structure are anatomical features specific to Kajikia audax, reproduced from first-generation molds cast directly from real fish specimens.
