Is there a way to be able to click on the pic to blow it up? I used shrinkpictures on these pics and picassa on the other ones.

I don't know what size the original images were, but I usually try and reduce my images to around 800 x 600 or real close to that.  When you attach the image to the post, it will show a smaller "thumbnail" on the page that will blow up to the larger pic when you click on it.

You can click on them now. Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate this. I kind of taught myself about computers.

do you paint the bottom any special color.  i read an article where Craig Powers sands his pop-r to the base to get to the bare body. i think he said it is Bone Color.   he also said white works.  his theory is the fish is looking up at the bait and the bellys of most fish are white.  sounded good to me.

There they are... :D  You did a really good job on those.  The colors, the finish, everything looks great.

I sand them down just enough to get the factory flaws out, as for the bottom color I agree that all you need is white or black. The fancy paint jobs are for me to look at.

Thats a good question. It generally takes too long. I would have to say from start to finish it could take an hour and a half to two hours. Maybe a little less if I do a few of the same pattern at one time. If you add dry time it takes a couple days to finish one. I have a few new patterns for St Clair that im working on. Hopefully have some pics in a week or so. I am real excited about these. Gonna test one on the water in the morning.
