Ouch! 1.5 fail - 01/22/16 02:56 PM
Working on deep 1.5 stencils lately.... trying to figure out how to make and use them properly . After lots of trial and error a few stencils came together. Decided to use them to come up with another Bream looking pattern. This was the first attempt ...pretty depressing, huh?
Considered turning off the lights, pouring the paint out, and chucking the entire lot in the dumper...reconsidered that thought and decided to try again. Came up with these.
The stencils were all made from old milk carton plastic and cut with a burner and Xacto knife. Pretty simple stuff...draw what you want on an unpainted lure blank...put the stencil over it...trace the image on the stencil and start cutting. Lots of overlays needed to get what you want...expect a few major failures along the way. Think I'll that first one
