braveviper Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Real, real nice, I like the blue bars with the scales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatfingers Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 It's amazing how well the blues and the gold work together on the first one, rj. I like them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky_Stalker Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 outstanding! How do you get the patterns on the foil? Is it an underlay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjbass Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Musky Stalker, It is mesh underneath the foil to give it the different patterns. I have to give the credit to Fatfingers for showing the technique. I believe there is a tutorial on the subject. Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjbass Posted June 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Husky, I thought I remember a statement from a moderator that said not to put up the pictures on the forum because they take up too much space so that is why I put up the link.....if it is ok to do the full pictures I will do it that way from now on....thanks.

bogdan_alex Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 dude, that's awesome. They look like those in the shops, it's amazing. I love those eyelets, I can't manage to make them perfectly rounded as you do...I'm also a beginner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Bogdan alex, try some round nose wire bending pliers, perfect circles every time. Buy them at Michaels Craft shops or at Sears. Another route to gold foil: I like to use silver aluminum duct tape for foiling and discovered by accident that a light spray of Createx Transparent Yellow does a nice job of turning it into "gold foil". I've also used Prismacolor dye pens but the Createx does a nicer, easier job IF you have an airbrush that can spray fine mist (like an Iwata HP or similar).
