Hand painted...

Since I have nothing but time on my hands lately, I decided to hand paint some of my hand carved minnows. I also gave foiling a go to on the red head. I talked to Smitty last night for a while and it got me out of this funk I have been in lately. Thanks for the motivation brother

It looks like time well spent, to me! What's the action like on those puppies?

nice job on the handcarves mini, glad you got your *** back into building gear, hoping the other stuff falls into place real soon for you, if you need anything let me know

Look real good Vin!!! That foil job is really neat !!!

Good to see your coming out of your funk lol Vin i saw something some where where the guy used a spaghetti maker and a piece of rubber .he put the mesh on the rubber than the foil on top and rolled it threw the machien gave him a real nice scale pattern then he fit to plug .just some thing you could try while you have a little time on your hands lol and let me know how it works ive been wanting to try that but havent had time.i was wondering how it would work with the heavy baking foil .take it easy Vin

Thank you for all the kind words guys!! I like the foiling it is tricky but fun, I have a coupler and a new hose coming soon, airbrush look out here I come
