Pat the lines on the pintail are killer

....got some more done on the stretched out Honk I've been working on. The bill/tongue were done with acrylics and will get a couple coats of semi gloss. The rest is blocked on with black and white rustoleum and will get two coats of flocking. Now, to learn how to use an airbrush!

 

[Brian Moyse]

I really like that redhead Mike. Nice job!

I thought I might show everyone an update as to where my redhead went over the last couple of days.

Once again here is the redhead prior to the body over glazes.

This is the hen black duck that I have been working on for a while now. I managed to find the colors I was looking for to complete it.

Nice birds John!

 

[Chris Finch]

that is a wicked sweet black, the bill is amazing

 

[David Robinson]

The crunch for Westlake is on! This will be a trade deke for a group of friends that I had the pleasure of hunting divers with in Kentucky. Hopefully I can get it painted by this weekend so the paint will be dry enough for traveling. It may not be going into the pool but I'll have other birds to float at the Saturday night pool float. I hope everyone else is making progress...no pressure

John I thought that Redhead was sweet especially with the grains showing in the vermiculation, then I scrolled down and saw the black...black beauty that one is fantastic. Thanks for sharing Dave.
