Wooden Juve Snook Green/Brown
crankpaint commented on anamealreadyinuse's gallery image in Hard Baits
great job looks like your getting the hang of this bait making stuff -
i use an acrylic sealer over my paint if im doing alot of colors so if i mess up a color i can wash it off without messing up the other colors i've already painted on the bait
-
you will also get that color by spraying transparent purple over the chartruse green like a tablerock shad color
-
I use some fine glitter i get from netcrafters in the fire opal color as it picks up the diff paint colors well(like if i paint a chartruse green bait the glitter looks green to,or a red bait it takes on the red color)
-
looks like its going to be a baby bass? nice foil job and bait making -
as a carp i think it needs some gold color added to it but it looks really good -
all your baits look great nice job -
looks good so far -
look in the tutorials on foiling a bait you print it on tissue paper to the size of your baits and make two copys one for each side when you topcoat over it the tissue paper dissapers -
thanks brad glad to help -
nice looking bait i like the green scale pattern with the black -
i see you use 5 min epoxy to fix the bad part only thing wrong is 5 min epoxy its not waterproof the 30 min d2 is waterproof so water can get to the paint
-
if your using reg airbrush paint most of the time you wont have to thin it just put a few drops in the brush and start spraying paint i use homemade reducer made as follows 1. future floor wax for tile floors 60% 2. dilstilled water 40% 4 drops of gylsere(get it at the drug store liquid form) i make it 2 oz. at a time for use in my folk art paint i get at the local art store(wal-mart has it too) that way you have alot of colors at a cheap price and can spray practic paint all day long or paint your lures with it it works great
-
the fish dont care as much as the fisherman do about what it looks like as long as it looks good to eat...
-
you could also get two sets of hoops and with the mesh in them clip them together and do both sides
-
also use a hair dryer and run it over the bait to get rid of the air bubbles and smooth the d2t
-
nice clean and simple i like that -
like the paint job is it foiled and splattered over the back? -
you might want to install a round clear 1/4 in thick peice of lexan on the top of the template to keep your fingers away from the bit if you slip up??(4 inch circle)
-
this one a little of both.freehand on all the basic colors blending as i go then i have a stencil for the ear and bars,but you could do the bars without it with low pressure and light paint -
great bait for your first time on a trout -
i think i have the gill pattern down pretty well still working on the punkinseed with brads help
-
great job brad looks just like the one i did lmao -
same scale method as the baby carp makes it look like a foil finish -
did this with the scale pattern going on right after the base coat then working with transparents
