BigDaddyHub 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2009 balsa is very easy to work with after you get over the "what if I mess it up" stage...have seen many poppers on this site with much better paint jobs. But that's why I'm not a painter by trade! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fred H. 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2009 There's nothing wrong with that paint job . I think they look great , and more importantly ,I know they'll catch fish. Fred Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigDaddyHub 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2009 It sure does, Fred.....This is a duplicate of a 1950 something popper that was my Grandfathers. His was painted with just old, lead based paints, and man, is that paint hard! The more I tie, the more I find myself trying to copy the old tried and true patterns and designs.....My Grandfather was a HUGE Herter's fan! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
