TD,
I completely overlooked those patterns when I saw that pic before. Thanks for the reminder. Very nice patterns in that pic.
I'm putting down some patterns today. Spent some time last night putting on the white primer coats. I can see it will take just a bit of getting used to with determining the correct thinning of the paint, etc. It was kind of difficult painting the ultra light stuff--I was painting 00 and 0 size blades (a coupld of size 1) and the small spoons. Seems the smaller lures make the bigger mess [crazy].
And getting ready to put down the patterns today, I can defiintely see the advantage in mass production. I will have a bit of clean up to do changing colors between every couple of spoons/blades. I'll send you a snapshot or two later, if wifey will allow me enough time to get some of this most important work done.
