Makeover for Helen

[Hide-the-Hippy]

I decided to give a makeover to my one of my hen decoys. I have been meaning to do it for a long time and after seeing some posts, I figured today would be a good day.

I touched up pretty much everything but the legs. Let me know what you guys think...anything to add for detail?

Here is a link to the website. The files were too big to load on here.

I have one just like it....did you brush it or air brush it? colors?

I mostly brushed it. Therefore, it took some time.
For the head, I used like a powdered blue...and mixed it with a hint of white.
The beak, I just left the same. No touch up there.
For the body I just basically planted it all black. But when it came to the tail, you really cannot tell from the pictures, but I painted most of the tail brown. Then, I did a light coating of black spray paint. It turned out really well. Like I said, its hard to tell from the pictures of the tail.
