    Once I lay down the scale pattern, I lay down a thin transparent pink in front (gill area) and transparent Caribbean blue in back by the tail. The two colors meet in the middle. Then I paint the gills with green/brown mix and go over the top with the same green/brown with a drop or two of black mixed in. That mixture is also what I use for the stripes. The belly is chartreuse in back and orange in front. Hope this helps!

    Thanks! There are 8 different colors in that neon gill not including the white base coat. It used to take me forever to paint those but I'm getting a lot faster on my gill baits now. Keep working on it!
  3. My normal method is Envirotech Epoxy thinned with a couple drops of denatured alcohol for sealing. After paint I use at least two coats of the E-Tex without thinning.

    Thank you! The stripes are done with a stencil and the transparent orange is overlaid on top. I've made many different variations of these using different colors. Some of them come out pretty cool. These are pretty easy to paint compared to some other ones.

    VERY cool baits.
  6. Still need more time to mess with it, but was able to change the pixel size in Paint without reducing the image size so severely. I'm old and confused and not real computer savvy. I changed and uploaded a couple of pictures, and now I need a nap.
  7. Old lurker and new member here, and couldn't agree more. Pick a topic and search it. The info and education here is like going to bait making college. Why I didn't join this site years ago I'll never know.
  8. Thought about buying stock in 3-D Systems tech years ago and never did. I just can't see this not becoming a bigger manufacturing player every day. It's too slow and has issues now, but as the tech progresses, I can easily see it taking over many industry standards. Very cool to see this bait you've printed. Thanks for sharing this.
