Gorgeous specimens!!

I like the chartreuse heads with those big green eyes.

So you built yourself a light box to cure the resin. I considered that but the Sun does such a lovely job of it. Do you UV resin coat the entire head or just the eyes ?

On the disco silver with blue top. Did you dip the blue or tap it on with a brush? Love those! Wishing I had candy blue now.....lol.

Yeah when I made them I thought of you and knew you’d love them. I’m going to make one next time where I dip the whole chartreuse head in candy lime. Here is a closer pic.




I cover the whole head with resin. I still use the sun as much as I can as UV resin takes awhile to fully cure. Light is for when I can’t use the sun or want to start setting up and then finish in the sun or vise versa.

I pinched it on. The blue is the the paint from Boss. It’s simply a candy blue and I love it!

Oh wow that pic of the chartreuse is awesome. So that is chartreuse with candy lime? I didn't pick that up from the first pic.

I'm gonna have to start doing this pinch technique on some of mine....those are awesome.

What do you mean from Boss? Is that a company?

Yes. I did the pink one that way too. Hot pink protec with candy pink pinched onto it.

Boss is the makers of the illusion paint. I did a thread on it. Same blue in this thread was used on the disco.

Gotcha, I remember the illusion paint forgot Boss were the makers of it.
