Who are you say he shouldn't use meth!


I'm not judging. Just pointing out the facts!

I wonder if ducks are attracted to it, like the fish were for Hank Hill...

I've seen a lot of rattle can red heads that look good (yours included). For some reason, I just can't figure it out...

I liked it because they have about the easiest pattern. Painters tape is a must. I went off an actual picture of a redhead from google images. If you want I'll send you the brands/Colors.

Throw'em out there...they'll work fine. You can flatten that red with a coat or two of Krylon flat clear finish. You don't ned minute detail to kill ducks. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

The red rattle can primer works good for their heads and its flat.
Pretty much a redhead is just a bluebill with it's head painted different. :thumbsup:

Looks good! I like the feather detail on the sides. I went with redheads cause they seemed easiest. Grey, black, red. I don't think I could do ornate lines like in some of the other specie.

I used a brush for them. Right around 10 minutes per decoy not counting dry times.

Tonight I got on those used BWT I picked up. I took a little more artistic liberty than I did with the redheads and had fun with em. It was fun leaving some rough edges, imperfection, and detail after those straight laced redheads. They will get 3 coats of flat clear coat tommorow to dull up that head.
