Here are some pics of my burlapping. Finally got all of them burlapped today. Only two decoys need a second coat of acryl pro in a week the rest got a 2nd coat today or the first coat of paint which is primer. Here are some pics.
2nd coats and 1st coat of acryl pro
decoys primed and about ready to get painted.
Got a little more done today. Got the gray on the bodies for the drake mallards. I painted more than I needed just so I don’t end up short. Also the gf was painting the decoy heads for me. The bills are not painted yet. The paint on them is still from the guy I bought the decoys from.
Here is a pic of the heads
Here is a pic of a herters head on the left. The head on the right is what we painted trying to match the herters head. To me it isn’t to bad. Haven’t done ANY of the bills yet.

Added a little more paint tonight. Since I don’t have an airbrush I have to do it all by hand. Also on the beaks of the ducks the gf repainted the yellow on them.

That way to cool. Where did you get the stuff to make them. It looks like fun.
