Like those wounded minnow ones. I recall seeing somewhere a builder (MAC maybe) who had used red marabou on the "belly" hook to give a bleeding effect that was clever as well. You might consider trying it on one.

Thats a good idea, I remember seeing it a while back .

Thanks folks. They all swim great. It was my first time using the airbrush and I need to get me some of those ready caps to put on the bottles. The cleaning out of the brush and bottles with every color change got a little old.

Paint looks great. You will figure out ways to streamline your technique the more you use the brush. When you say bottles you cleaned out after each color change do you mean color cup? The ready caps are great.

I have the badger 155. the kit cam with a couple glass jars, only one jar had the little pick up tube in the cap. When I would put down the first coat I used the jar. When I only needed a little red or black I used the small chrome cup.

The first session with the brush open up a whole can of worms. I think I am going to build a down draft table for painting.

My next project is going to be some pikies. It's not even thanksgiving yet.
