Airbrushing Lures
« on: June 18, 2015, 02:25:13 PM »
Well I've been lazy about posting stuff lately so I figured I'd post a little something different.  Since getting an awesome airbrush kit for Christmas (thank you Papa!) I've been painting lures with the inspiration and help of the man himself JKim.   Sorry it's a bit pic heavy and not the best pics but here are some creations.  (All lures painted are old and abused or lightly used)





Spook in Mackerel (caught a mini vina)



Spook in sexy smelt (also has caught a vina)



Another view



LC knock-off in Threadfin shad







Deep crank for a friend in SBB



Lucky Craft Flashminnow 95 in an imitation of bentos sexy katakuchi



Sammy clone in chovie



Megabass dogX in orange belly shad


Well not on JKim's level but I'm happy with it! ;)

Thanks for looking!

Nicky

That's awesome Nicky! "Not on JKIMS level" pffft, he didn't start at 14 either so I'm sure you'll be painting lures for him by this time next year B) keep at it brah! they're gonna need new paint in a few weeks after that coat gets chewed off!

Nicky, I have airbrushed a lot of lures in my time as well as fish mounts... You have some serious skills. Mad props to you!
You can't catch them from your computer chair.

Thank you for all the kind replies everyone!

Nice stuff Nicky. I wish I could do things like that.

I'm sure you can Mr. Steve!

Here's another project.



Squiddy Tady 45




I like it but it's never as real as the animal itself.
