I'm new here so I figured I'd share some pics of my first attempt at plugs and bucktails.
The plugs are from kits. I wanted to try it out and test my paint skills. Might get a lathe next winter, but in the mean time I have access to a lathe to try turning my our soon. I'll be ordering another batch of kits this week so I have a wider variety in my bag.
Bucktails were poured by a friend and I painted and tied them.
All the paint is rattle cans. Plugs are coated with E-Tex. Bucktails are 2-4oz.
My tail wraps suck , as to be expected for a first try. I was very happy with the paint jobs. I was afraid they were going to look a 5 year old did it. Next batch I'm gonna try some scales.
