cadman Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Here are some spinnerbaits I made for my cousin for X-mas. He is a die hard Chicago Sports fan. When I gave them to him he loved them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Those are awesome!!! Are you using decals? I liked the TU one you did also, I was thinking about getting a set up for the PC to make my own custom decals but just don't have the cash plus my PC is 5 years old so I don't really want to put any more into it but those really have me wanting to something like that!! Great job cadman!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) Smalljaw, Thanks for the compliment. Yes those are decals I made with a printer, decal paper, and a bunch of other things. I was very pleased at how they came out. I will say that it is very time consuming, but well worth it when you see the final product. If you want I can post the process here or I can e -mail it to you.

smalljaw Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Cadman, if it's not too much trouble I'd like to know the process, so when you get a chance you can e-mail it to me, thanks!!!! I did see a computer program that you can get and it comes with decal paper but I wasn't sure if I wanted to do that but those sports baits you made look fantastic, it adds another dimension for sure, and the decal paper reminds me of the decals you used to get with models, the ones that you soaked in water and carefully remoced it from the paper to apply on the model, no matter what kind it is I'd really like to take a serious look at making some!

kelly Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I can see the time you put in to those. Only the best from you. Thank you for sharing I have always enjoyed your art work. Is you next set going to a art museum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted January 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Thanks for the compliments guys. Kelly, I don't think they're museum quality. Maybe in 100 years, but by that time the epoxy would probably turn yellow and you wouldn't be able to see anything. Just a quick run down, but with all the screwing around and imaging I have about 40 hours in all to make 5 spinnerbaits. Also like you I always want things to be perfect but that is not always the way it turns out. However I am my worst critic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernet Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Those are awsome Cadman! You won't mind if I ask you what kinda printer you used(ink, color laser etc. Brand) and what type of paper(brand, type)? Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) Those are awsome Cadman! You won't mind if I ask you what kinda printer you used(ink, color laser etc. Brand) and what type of paper(brand, type)? Keep it up! No problem at all. I have an old Hewlett Packard( HP 1220c) Inkjet printer. This printer is about 6+ years old. This is before they came out with all of the high tech printers that can print photos. Believe it or not the quality is really crisp. Also it depends on how clean your image is. As far as what type of decal paper I use, I bought it from Microformat. Here is the link http://www.paper-paper.com/. I am going to post the instructions on how I did this below. I was very pleased with how they came out Edited January 13, 2010 by cadman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) For all of you that want to make these at home for yourself, here is how I made these. There is no secret to this. However it is very time consuming and at times can be very frustrating. Also any image you can print you can put on any blade or spinnerbait body. Also remember to get permission from any logo you use. Finally unless you are licensed to sell any sports logos, you can not sell these to anyone. I made these as a gift not for profit.
