Bryon - those look really nice!  Every attempt I make at painting I seem to never like it...  You on the other hand sure have a nack for making them look fantastic!

Thanks Squeezy! These are the first bugs I've ever painted that I was happy with. After trial and error, I settled on 2 coats of Testors gloss enamel. I used different diameters of brass rod to make the spots.

Here's a pic of the eye painters I came up with - all those years ago...  They still work well today.

I just grab my drill bit set and use the non-business end as eye stamps. Have every diameter for any size eyes/pupils.
