Well I've been lazy about posting stuff lately so I figured I'd post a little something different.  Since getting an awesome airbrush kit for Christmas (thank you Papa!) I've been painting lures with the inspiration and help of the man himself JKim.   Sorry it's a bit pic heavy and not the best pics but here are some creations.  (All lures painted are old and abused or lightly used)

That's awesome Nicky! "Not on JKIMS level" pffft, he didn't start at 14 either so I'm sure you'll be painting lures for him by this time next year B) keep at it brah! they're gonna need new paint in a few weeks after that coat gets chewed off!

Nicky, I have airbrushed a lot of lures in my time as well as fish mounts... You have some serious skills. Mad props to you!

I like it but it's never as real as the animal itself.
