Slip Crank Re-paint

Done such little alterations on crankbait lips before as well , also found it surprising , that no visible change in the swimming pattern did occur . 

 

Guess , that your topcoat was responsible for the yellowing , some epoxies do yellow , as I had read , .....in particular the ones meant for glueing rather than the ones for plating .

 

Something about this yet simple ,  new paintjob , looks cool with the sparkle of the glitter flakes and the contrasting eye .

 

Too bad that I can't access your video , as due to it's soundtrack it's banned for German Youtube users(got harsh restrictions about musician's copyrights over here) .

I cant take credit for the color scheme, its pretty much a copy of an air brushed lure... But since i dont have an airbrush, i used the glitter for this effect...... I like it too! I'm happy i finally found a paint job i can do!

Thats weird about the video... The music is an old TV show theme song

There will be more handbrush paintjobs to discover and to master them , too , ....don't worry about that !

 

The other day I went to a hobby craft store in Hamburg(don't have one in my hometown) , looking for some new paints there and found something called "cracklelure varnish" , ......tried it on a few lures so far  , ....some turned out nice , some did not ,........quite a bit of luck involved to achieve a good looking crackled paint pattern , ....I'm still learning .

 

There is also someone in here doing perfect marbled paintjobs on his lures , ....dunno , whether you had seen them here in the gallery , ......in a nutshell marbling is just dipping the object ito water with marbling paint swimming on top .

 

And TU member "littleriver" (sadly he is not that active anymore) even used pastel chalks to paint his lures ,.......you see, .....there are quite a few options apart from airbrushing ,.......and each of them displaying some kinda personal style , too .

 

Yep , ....it really is a PITA about those banned videos ,.........your particular soundtrack is said to be subject of an argument between the German YouTube branch and the local owning company of the tune's copyrights , so YouTube rather backs up , since they've lost lawsuits started by the local music industry and don't want to be fined .

 

Nowadays downloading music , videos , pictures or texts to use them for own purposes  has become a real snake pit over here .

 

There are free computer programs available to bypass these restrictions of German YouTube , though , .....taking detours through internet servers in other countries , I guess , but I haven't bothered to take care about it so far , the issue is not that relevant to me .

 

Greetings , Dieter

Im still looking for my "style".... Ive always liked the look of glitter on hard baits, so maybe that's it??

I built a medium depth crankbait today using the same template from this lure, putting some paint on it now... Hopefully i can show it in the morning!
