These are my first attempts with a heat gun and powder paint. Still can't get the look I want, but beats a solid color!

Thanks fellas! Actually not as difficult as I thought it would be. Bought some cheap paint brushes at the large 24 hour retail store in town... 30 for $1.97. The heat gun does allow you to make different shades with the powder. Noticed a big difference with mixed colors. They look different than my regular heating with an oil lamp. Used my new 3D eyes but not quite the right size. Need to parctice!

I like the last one of the lot as well... Maybe just personal preference.

Thanks everyone! I think this is the evil side. I don't get any tying done for playing with the paint now! My heat gun stays hot for quite some time after shutting it off. I'll spare you the pics of my burnt fingertips...
