Well I made the bodies last winter, made the terrible head in spring and molded it over the summer. Coated the bodies over summer while I did all the herters. Painted a good bit of the bodies early fall but forgot to buy the head and bill paint. Finally did today and got them to this point . Following Steve’s painting tutorials adapted to the goose mold.
Very gunning paint scheme, but think they’ll work. Hunted a diver spot Thursday midday and had more mallards fly over than divers(the 1000 real divers in giant raft a half mile away probably didn’t help my cause). So I’m getting these done for sundays last hunt of regular season. Have to get my morracian henna from a budy that touched up some heads so I can paint the chests and I’m calling them good.
Also painted two as “black” ducks although they would also pass as scoter.
