Very nice Blue Gill Drew... if it were a little bigger I'd think about filleting it if I were you. lol

Thanks for sharing you're skills, I've been wanting to try my hand at the airbrushing thing for a while too but like Mr. Jester said, I barely have time for what I do now... Pretty inspirational work, that.

Thanks,

Jerry

The only thing that would look better on that bait is teeth marks. That's realistic, I like it.

Thanks everyone, your starting to give my already large ego a boost.  :P

Here is a diver I did for a forum member, also did this pattern in the 2.5 that the bluegill is in.


Hope you like it.

These are awesome! Every time a new picture of painted lures including the soft plastics gets added, I have to try harder not to spend more money and it is getting VERY hard to do so LOL

Would you give some details on how your airbrush your soft plastic baits?

In particular...
Paint: What works...what doesn't! (I know a bunch that don't!)
How you clean your airbrush for this paint?
What airbrush do you recommend?
I assume you have to dip the bait in clear to keep the paint on (?)
Do you use templates ...and if so ...where do you get them?

How about an airbrush section on the forum??? Airbrushing plastic baits and Do-t jigs   Seems to me that airbrushing soft plastic (and do-it jigs) is different than hard plastic/balsa baits...but I know nothing on the subject!

Hey Jerry,
« Reply #22 on: 02/15/13 10:18 UTC »
That is a great idea, having a painters corner section would be awesome. A place where we could talk about liquid and powder paint/applications and so on, gonna tag Jerry in the title and see how he feels.


Drew

PS: Andy, 90% of what I do is the cheapest easiest things I could find/do. If the section opens up I will post pics/how-to's for anyone wanting to try my methods. I am no "pro" by any means, haven't been doing it long enough to get out of the greenhorn stage LOL :P

Great looking stuff Drew!  I also have too many hobbies I don't have time for and can't afford, so I won't get into airbrushing.   

Well if a painting page opens up, we need to get Rick Garcia to post some tutorials... the stuff he posts on facebook is amazing! I think he lurks here a bit too.  https://www.facebook.com/RebornTC?fref=ts

Same here, I have a airbrush but Im bush league compared to these guys. However it is fun to catch fish on one of your own paint jobs. I know how to use createx, but had trouble with plastic paint. It dries so fast that it dries in your airbrush before you can spray it all out! Would love to find the proper way tomix it with a reducer.

This is 1 of 4 cranks that were recently finished for 2 of our forum members, all 4 are done in different bluegill patterns.


Hope you like it,
