I was tinkering again today and shot these three colors. The grey is Pro Blue and looks almost like a baby Great White shark's color. The red one is Tomato. Both of these are shot over a smoke line and a pearl belly. The purple one is one just using re-melts but it came out real nice too.

looking good as usual CTom
Not bad....not bad at all. They look real good.
Quote"The purple one is one just using re-melts but it came out real nice too." while all are great looking I think that purple one is the best and will out fish the others at least 3 to 1
Very, very nice. Man you got the patience and concentration. Those look like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Really appreciate all the help you gave me. I shot some 3 color stuff tonight and when I get my camera back I will post some pics. I made a laminate plate and played around. Your baits are fantastic. That smoke line is hard to figure out but I am collecting my nerve and some materials. Found a silicone covered baby spoon in the grandkids box. Don't tell Grandma. She will never see it again. CTom, You Up there with the elite group now! Thanks for sharing your artwork!!
You guys make me sick with all that great looking work. I never had enough time or money to become a pro. Sometimes I wish I had kept my molds, but gosh knows I would have never found time to use them and then all my paints and everything harden before I can use them. Keep it going, I atleast love to see the work. Good job
CTom ... without mentioning any names/brands/companies, I have to say that your creations rival some of the better plastics makers out there !!
I'm seriously really liking the "great white" coloration ... the light backed one and the darker backed ones. I wouldn't mind having a few dozen of them dudes, if you decide to sell any of your work.
... cp :kewl
How are you doing these?
Are you hand pouring the belly then hand pouring the middle color then shooting the top finally adding eyes then dipping in clear
Your a try master
They look great
Fisher Hawk it looks very time consuming to me. I envy those who have that kind of time. I love the looks of those and wish I had the time and money to invest just to see what I could accomplish. He done got me jealous.
Beautiful stuff! Think i like that shark da bestest!
CS you get faster at it with time! I imagine Tom would surprise ya with how many he could do like that in a couple hours.
another fantastic job you did ctom.
couple hours? I wish I had an hour lol. Tom definitely has it downpat, but so do you RonQuote:

ctom your next step will be a airbrush.
I would like some of those in brighter colors like chart and orange
I suppose with Bob gone someone has to keep the forum moving. Here's another version of baby shark. Tough pours without much mass and the pro blue suffers but they are cute.
