    Couple of Traps...and a kids batting helmet!!! Updated with another trap

    Did a couple of traps...and a friend asked me to do his son's little league batting helmet. Figured I give it a try. Think it turned out ok.

    That top trap is really nice! Did you use fluorescent blue? I've been wanting to get some, but I use rattle cans and fluorescent blue isn't a very common color.

    I'm planning on doing a true fire job on one of my Savephace mask.

    I used the plain createx water based paint from Hobby Lobby on the batting helmet.
    And cleared it with a higher priced enamel clearcoat spray can.

    The citrus colored trap was done with just the Createx transparent blue and 2 drops of opaque white mixed with it. The flourescent yellow is just that....flouresecent yellow with 2 drops of opaque white to give it enough body to show up well.

    Dude...I was just thinking to myself...gotta get a better camera. This one just doesn't want to focus up close for some reason.
