Winter project Dannys

Im going stir crazy with no fishing and being unemployed. The family wants to get me something to keep me busy for the winter. How much of an investment would i need to finish 24 dannys from Habs? Also should i stick with cans or get an airbrush? Any thing else you guys can throw at me would be appreciated!
Thanks

you could even go with long screw eyes and skip the epoxy coat if you want to keep the price down. i was thinking of doing that myself. i have a bunch of atom junior lips i was going to throw on the bodies. you could even skip the paint and just slap a nice eelskin overcoat on it.

A small package of Envirotex doesn't cost much. Won't take more than a few ounces to do 24 danny's...

I was gonna mention screw eyes, but you better put them in with epoxy(cedar is soft). Epoxy packs with the 2 tubes are cheap. The screw eyes would also be easier for you to drill since thru drilling danny bodies may result in a few ut-oh's with you being a novice.
