thankya

the shape is similar to a beachmaster of the same size but i tapered it more towards the front.

belly weight in the middle.

i have a box of paints, regular acrylics, and the createx. i think the the tinned acrylics hold up better than the createx. just thin em with water. i have probly around 12+ bottles. and a big bottle of pearl white cause it goes into basically every plug i make. i dont really use anything straight from the bottle. im always mixing something else in

i do premix my paints. i have a bunch of test tubes i had my dad grab from his work before he left and thats what i mix in. they are about the size of the small createx bottles. and last pretty long.
i mix up big batches of the stuff i use alot, like pearl white, or pink for the sides, or olive. then if i decide to make a new color i mix extra so incase i really like the color ill have more.

i use 1 airbrush and clean in between colors. you can skip cleaning it all the way if your switching to a different hue of a color or something. just flush it out with water real quick. and itll be fine.

painting is becomming one of my favorite things to do. i like seeing how smooth i can get the body of the plug before i paint. i must have done 6 coats of primer on these, sanding in between each 1.

live to fish. fish to live. rod tips high.
