Have been painting a few heads with some odd nail polish colors. This is one of the colors that I thought to be a good crappie color..called "Melon Green"..

You can add eyes to the round head as well just put the head in a smooth jaw vice flatten the sides a little. It will go flat enough to add an eye and not loosen the head. Be gentle.

Great tip toadfrog ! I'll have to give that a try...thanks! Hummm, I wonder if you could smooth the jaws on an old pair of parallel pliers and use those instead of a vise?

Is that the homemade eye flat-form on the ball head?

Yes it is Hawn...done with the vise grips. I adjust the grips, so that I get the same pressure each time.
