Many thanks John! I appreciate that.

Thanks Marla!

Thanks Owen! it may be a while before I am able to do that but I appreciate the suggestion. 👍

Thanks Lewis! No joy on the bird feeder yet. I had one wood pecker come in to take a look while I was having coffee. We have another feeder in the back yard and have had only one Bluejay visit that one so far. No Cardinals yet. We need some snow to make the food sources more scarce. Not giving up! 😆🤞

Yes I have. One time a long time ago! Maybe I’ll try again some day. 😁

@ that would be awesome

You are very welcome!

Thanks for the feedback. I’m still working on it too! 😆

Here is a quick recap. I didn’t list the base coat Jo Sonja (paint brand) Phthalo Green darkened with Carbon Black. The iridescent paints are Chroma brand, which have been discontinued since I made that video. I now use Createx Pearlized Air Brush paint for iridescence. Here is a link to a video from my channel that cross references Chroma and Createx. Hope this helps and good luck on your project! kzbin.info/www/bejne/raLWgWCQl5mgpKM

@ thank you very much. Your work is exquisite. I’ve been restoring outdoor statues and one of them is a duck.

Great! I hope you enjoy it Stephen.

Hi Clint. Yes, that term is only used on Chroma paint. Createx “Pearlized” is their version of an iridescent paint.

@@tomchristieart Thanks Tom! I reckon I've got another learning experience for this old brain! Happy New Year!

Me too Clint! The Createx Pearlized colors run lighter and brighter than Chroma so add some Jo Sonja colors to darken and soften the pearl a bit.

@@tomchristieart Thanks for the tip!

You are right, it’s always a good feeling to have them come in Clint!

Thank you very much!

Thanks Jay. I guess there will always be differences of opinion on what constitutes a gunning decoy. Pretty simple carve and paint on this one.

Some slow times but overall we had a great two days!

Thanks Todd! It sure was.

Thanks for the note Mark! 👍

Thanks Bruce!

I hope it gives you some different ideas! Pat’s guidance is hard to beat! 👍
