    Thanks guys I always had good luck early in the a.m. with black and red teasers so I figured I'd give it a shot with a plug.

    Ha ha, very cool.
    Check out this cane, you could take the head and wire the plugs in as part of the body.

    I remember when you first started painting these plugs surfstix. Not to say that there was anything wrong with the first ones, but the ones you are now doing, you can definitely see the skills you have developed. Pretty work.

    Thanks, Oh I had some train wrecks in the beginning(still do sometimes) trust me on that(alot of sandpaper) my new airbrush helped me out alot the first one drove me nuts my new airbrush is much better theres a big learning curve even building these kits so I know what these guys starting from scratch must have gone through now I just want to fish them so I can see if I did my end of the deal right maybe this coming fall,not looking good for the spring looks to be another back surgery coming soon I guess the guys that have them can let me know.

    I use etex for clear coat and createx and folkart acrylic paints the folkart needs some thinning you can use other acrylics but the cheapest ones seem to leave a real gritty surface unless you strain it which just wastes more paint the folkart is pretty good I make my own thinner from a trick I found online which works well and alot cheaper than liquidtex airbrush medium.
