Thanked: 634Beautiful work. Between you and Chevhead the ducks don't stand a chance. The two of you can surely bring them back to life better than when they were born.

Those are some beautiful Ducks, Pups! Mind if I ask where you get your acrylics? I've really been wanting to try it, especially in that blue-green tint. Thanks-Aaron

Hehe, Hehe, Heehee! Since I've been privy to watching these being crafted, I only have one thing to say: 'It's about time...!'
Actually two things: Beautiful Job Pups! A rotation to be proud of.

Thanked: 1184Thanks everybody (0>: There are tons of places to get plastics and I am surprised how many can't find it. I now use Ridout plastics of San Deigo Ca. PLEXIGLASS Acrylic Sheet, Lexan Polycarbonate, Fiberglass Sheets, Plastic & Plexiglass Fabrication If you want just clear, you can buy it at any Home Depot. I also look at 99c stores for things made of plastic that have some flat pieces big enough to re purpose. I bought some picture stands that were broke at an art supply for 25%. I will soon post some pics of that made into a razor/brush rack for the medicine cabinet. Think outside the box and you will see razor scales all over the place :<0)
Substance :: the special one is an 8/8 Satinedge that unfortunately had to be honed down to 15/16 ths to find good steel. I am glad I have what's left over and the regular Duck brass doesn't even come close to fitting that blade. Except for color the scales are exact duplicates of the originals.
Toasty :: I have been wondering how you been getting along. Sorry you don't have a one of a kind anymore but I howled at the moon every night until another showed up :<0)
Aaron :: I am not sure which one you are referring to but I could help you clarify it before you go to the site to buy some.
Ed :: You can do nice work, don't cut yourself short.
As for the colors,,, the choice is limited when it comes to clear or I haven't dug around enough yet. The second in line is all original and I wanted to stick to the clear Satin scale theme. In the set posted the first in line will become yellow someday. The scales are going south but i'm not that worried about them yet. There are a lot more colors in translucent and in darker colors which are less transparent. ie. the red Goldedge I did sometime back and I have a nice blue I put on a Blue Jinx DD. The brass on that one is driving me nuts so it's not done yet.
Thanks again all. I am glad you all enjoy looking at them.Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Had no idea it was duck season! I think the game wardon should check your license cause you might be over the limit
Sweet work including the photography.
