some is painted inside the mold, some airbrushed after the bait is cured. and yes, is silicone based paint
-
Great, but perhaps I do not understand: did you pour it in a silicone mold, or did you pour it with silicone raw material?

The body material is silicone. As a matter of fact the molds are also made of silicone

that glitter. crazy
-
thanks guys. Gino, yes I sell them. the batch for this month is gone.
-
Thank you Ben. You are 100% correct, I've coated a few with auto clear and they look really nice. On one I used epoxy and I must confess it looks better than those coated with auto clear. Epoxy gives the bait a beautiful depth and makes it kinda "complete" so to say.

Thank you bud

@jonister this one is epoxy coated

@ifish thank you. No 3d printer. I wish I could, I suppose it would cut my production time big time.
I just take a different approach from the mainstream. Most guys are just carving the body. I do carving also but I model with clay/putty mostly. is more like building a puzzle if you see what I mean: carve the body in wood, carve the main details also in wood, then start adding stuff (putty and modelling clay). then cover the body in a scale mesh - btw creating that scale mesh is a pain in the a**. this and getting a perfect symmetry I consider to be the greatest challenges.
I work through addition instead of substraction. What I can say is that it takes actually more than straight carving but I guess the results are better and you get that unique look.

thanks guys.

Timmy, this is freehand. airbrushing in layers and some highligts made with a fine paintbrush. the eyes are painted with that paintbrush for instance
-
thnaks guys. Eric, yes, I designed it from scratch using pictures of the real thing as reference. Still considering making it a 4 part bait instead of just 3 parts. It is still a work in progress with lots to do
-
Thanks guys and yes Mac, is 100% freehand airbrushed.
-
well worth it. best trout I've seen
-
thank you guys. appreciate it. hope to post an action vid soon.
-
very original. the coolest lure out here in my opinion. 5*
-
consider investing in a wood burning "pencil" with different tips. it helps with the 3D details big time. my 0.02$: just take your time and do your best. I'm sure you'll be fine. my first lures looked like a bad joke so I can tell you it is just a matter of practice
-
thx guys
-
Thx. I've sent you a pm.
-
well, glad I found it. best eye I've ever seen on a lure.
-
by using a release agent (it comes in a can and you spray it on the mold). besides my molds are made of silicon rubber which doesn't stick to urethane.
-
thank you guys

I use airbrush colors, mainly transparent, from a german company called Schminke. I think they are available in the States, too. Pretty old and big company.
I found their colors to be more intense and bright so to say. Besides they are ready to use and if a color is not ready made I can always use the RAL table they provide, so that I can create my own.
Some details I add using a very fine paintbrush (using the same airbrush colors)

urethane resin
