what are you guys using for primer? i have a new can of Krylon primer (well, it was new when i bought it along w/ my other airbrush paints, its about 75% gone now). i just bought this with the rest of my airbrush paints, so its not like its been sitting out in the garage for years before i decided to use it. i keep it indoors. i absolutely hate the stuff. it comes out in a spattery spray, doesn't cover up colors underneath very well, its pretty runny when its on the bait. its tricky to get a good primer coat with it. i just hate everything about it. how necessary is a primer? i was thinking if i can't find a better primer i might just go without... or is that a no-go?

i have mine on vibrate 90% of the time though. but when the volumes up its Dead Seeds

thanks guys!

Dead Seeds - Lamb of God

i guess... i'm looking at the case right now and there aren't even system requirements listed. maybe they were on like a cardboard sleeve when i bought it or something. i would think the only thing that may need improvement is the video card.... its an NVIDIA something

oh there's also Kuma War, which is online and totally free. you download it and then whenever they come out with new maps (missions) you download them. i had this game for a while and then it decided to stop working too. there were always lots of people on and it was really fun. www.kumawar.com

i bought a Counter Strike: Source package from Best Buy for 20 bucks and it included CS:S, Half Life 2: Deathmatch, and Day of Defeat: Source. unfortunately, i was only able to get CSS working for a very short time, like a few plays, i never could get half life 2 to run, and day of defeat lasted the longest but it was terribly glitchy and eventually wouldn't run. i really wish i could get these games to work on my computer cuz they were really fun, but i got no clue why they won't work.

olive wooly buggers are also bluegill/small bass magnets.

how bout swimbaits or sexy shad.........

i just noticed this... i love how they stuck a fish head on a snake bait...... : ;D

thanks bilgerat, yeah i was trying to arc it slightly. the pipecleaner thing is a good idea, but i imagine it would waste a lot of paint as it would just soak up the paint i put on there....

i kinda wanna make one of those now, just for the fun of it.....

thanks guys. i need to work on my freehand details though... the lateral line just didn't look right taped off and i couldn't get a stencil to work out for me, so i decided to free hand it and it turned out pretty wavy but i tried to fix it with some more paint, turned out alright in the end i guess.

haha even this is hard to follow! it looks really cool though. maybe you could do a photo step by step of the process. reminds me of lizard or snake skin. ;D

thanks, sure is.

grizzly *** beards are better.

that 2nd one with the fine scales and large scales is very awesome. i'm sitting here trying to figure out the order you painted that one, but i just can't lol i think i got it! you must have sprayed the black (or dark) basecolor, then laid down fine mesh and wide mesh right on top of it, then sprayed the whole thing in that yellowish green, then removed the large mesh sprayed over the sides in that blueish green. am i right?

dude just never shave again and grow a grizzly *** beard, shaving is a pain in the ***.

devcon, etex, flex coat, DN, target coatings can all be used without a spray gun. actually most clear coats are used without a spray gun.

^ agreed.

i haven't used it but i doubt it would hold up well. take a factory bait and just dip it in the polyurethane and get a few coats on there. then fish with it and see how it holds up.

academy selling online will be awesome.

8' is a good length, 3 weight rod/line/leader is fun for panfish! small topwaters are awesome for panfish, from dry flies to foam spiders.

lol thanks, me neither until he asked if i could paint one. i told him i'd try and he really likes this one.

can i buy direct, FISHUNTER? ;D
