Salty's Wood...My Paint

Thought I'd throw these out to the experts. These are my 1st ones i ever painted/assembled, Bought the blanks from #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& and went to town. Let me know what you think.

I can see where you guys get addicted to this...

Great start! Nice paint! They just keep getting better! I really like the bottom plug. I think I'll try that color scheme.
Did you use an airbrush?

Hey! Nice work!!! Your bucktails look pretty good as well. You got the idea. Maybe we do lunch and talk pluggage sometime.

Thanx guys...the bottom 2 were my favs out of the batch. Definitely enjoyed the hell out of doing 'em.

Sea-5 those were all done w/ rattle cans, but an Airbrush is already on the Xmas list.

TFF you are correct on what I'll be doing.... I already added NJTackle.com to my wife's Favorites. Figured that was a subtle hint for xmas presents also

SH pluggage and lunch.....2 great things that go great together....sounds good.

I screwed up a couple that I gotta sand down and repaint but the xmas list is growing and growing

I wouldn't bother...just repaint or turn into a funk pattern. It is a popper after all...

I did plenty of airbrushing in art school. I think rattle cans work just dandy for most things. I can always add details with a brush, which gives the plug a neat character once expoxied.

Perhaps this will limit what I can do...but it's just a plug right?
