First Try at Air Brushing
« on: January 24, 2010, 10:44:00 PM »
Here's my first attempt at airbrushing.  Trying to get the paint down.  I used the cheap walmart paint to do these.  I do have some paint made for airbrushing will give that a try next.

These are going to BowHuntingfool he wanted some plan Jane Flu Flu's for pheasant hunting. He'll be getting 6 airbrushed.

Good job, Paul. If you can do that well with the less than ideal paint, future arrows with the good materials are going to be great. And that is in addition to the extremely high quality of the arrows beneath the paint! You build superior arrows.

Wow Paul those are sweet looking. I've been thinking about getting some Flu Flu's myself, those might have pushed me over the edge.

Paul just curious, are you airbrushing to get the faded affect on the areas you want?  Those arrows look great.  Keep up the superb work.
