TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 Having been given a bag of old plastic wood pigeon decoys, I decided to renovate them. I gave them a wash and sourced some paint from work. There were also two of the Sportplast Manual Flappers, one of which has been motorised.

J.R. Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 I would have just taken the lazy way out..and touched up the white markings on the wings and neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centrepin Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 I use tester pots from B & Q, even the little grey pots do around 20 birds. I repaint mine about once a year all very slightly different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 Yes indeed, those tester pots are good, I just want plain birds with neck bars. They will either go to a new starter in the game or become more birds for the lofting pole set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
