Mikado Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Hi, How to get the melon frog color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Judging from the pic..... Watermelon with a touch of red hi-lite (unless the red is just a glare from the picture).......medium and small black flake. Also looks like there might be some small red flake. Can't really tell by my monitor. Touch of pearl white on the bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikado Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Thank's for your prompt response! My problem is that there are a lot of watermelon dye ...The one that would fit is closer to the "ayu". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Looks like MF watermelon would work. Not sure about some of the newer companies. Maybe someone can chime in on those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikado Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 I tried the MF watermelon. It's too green. We should rather go to the yellow or the light brown ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Spikeits Kudzu is a yellower green. It should work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMc1 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 I would start with Spike It's green pumpkin 109 personally, add a touch of watermelon 101 to it to get it a shade greener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikado Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Thanks Frank & Dave. I have just ordered the recommended dyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLuvin175 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Looks like a weak Watermelon to me. You must remember that adding Red Flake to Watermelon will give it a brown shade look versus the same color Watermelon without Red Flake. Watermelon 101 is a good bet. Also the belly looks like solid Hi-Lite Red Pearl. Im sure some if it has "wrapped" over the back section during lamination. I doubt there is Hi-Lite Red Pearl in the back section.

Mikado Posted March 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Finally it was thanks to the help of Josh Middleton of Spike-it that I managed to find the right recipe. A big thank you Josh! For 100 ml (0.21 pint) I put on one side 7 drops of green Pumpkin 109 and on the other 3 pinch of red Hi lite powder.Here is the result: on the left the original and on the right my copy ...
