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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Bob LeMay 0 Report post Posted January 3 Here's a pic of the eye painters I came up with - all those years ago... They still work well today. each nail set in a small piece of fishing rod blank and for a palette - the inside of the lid from each paint can.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted January 10 I just grab my drill bit set and use the non-business end as eye stamps. Have every diameter for any size eyes/pupils. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
