new projects

im making more flat swimmers, and finishing up some smurfsters for newjack,

heres one thats going to Big Bo, and some ready for the coping saw beneath.

im using more weight on these ones this time, because the 1st one had some trouble with rolling.

im also using much lighter wire, wire big bo gave me, making this plug possible. it really did make a difference in the way the plug floats and swims. also saved a batch of bum pencil poppers that sank, made them float perfectly.

i threw some gills on it with the dremel and a file. look pretty cool. ill sand this tommorow and do another couple coats of white primer,i wanna try to make it super smooth.

had to wire before because i thought the body was a little weak and i reenforced it by basically filling it with epoxy/fine saw dust paste.

its sealed pine.
