First attempt with the new airbrush I got from Santa. A little sweet water perch that I hope the smallies on Champ will crush. 4.25" at 1oz.

Swam nice in the bathtub - just under the surface with a nice wiggle. Have to see what it will do once the water softens up here. Made several blanks. Just wanted to make sure it swam okay before I painted the others. Think I will have to finish some in peanut for the salt.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks - I owe a lot to you for giving me the skinny on sealing with Helmsman and priming with BIN when I was starting out a year ago.

Looks like you'd need to store that one in an aquarium and remember to feed it.

you rock!

the Photo doesn't do it justice at all....... however just mho

i know because i adjusted the sharpness on it 5 times to no avail

you either moved or the camera wasn't good enough

i suggest you make a light box which is a place to photograph your plug
that makes it appear so clear it looks almost 3 dimensional

would whom ever created the light box please dig up the thread !

It is a phonecam picture thus the fuzzyness. I'll get out the real digital tonight and post a better one.

wow. That is a nice job.

Thanks - the fuzzy pic hides a world of imperfections.
