This started its life with me as a very ugly Beast; the previous owner marked teh crap out of it, so it was an obvious candidate for the dye experiment.

Not sure what's up with this one, it's a champ plastic Valk. I left it in the ink for a long time, so it's weird that didn't take very well in some spots.

This one is the last one I did. There is a gray tint to the black, which I attribute to the hard water we have where I live (not sure if that's what's doing it or not, but I can see it on all my dyes).

This was the first one I did. It's a white dx wraith, and it took forever to make it look black, and it still came out smokey. But that's what I get for trying to dye dx.

Definitely still figuring this out, but this is what I've got so far.
 
nice job commie! is the guy on the birdie throwing 4 discs at once or kicking his bag?
 
Yeah, it's a guy kicking his bag. Someone on one of the disc golf forums had it as their avatar and I thought it was awesome. It's supposed to have a basket in the background with a disc on the ground beside it, like he just missed a putt, but I didn't think I could pull off the cutting and peeling of the basket part so I left it off.

The USSR one is an X-Mas present for a buddy. I'm working on a Misfits one now, but not sure if it's going to come out or not. I'm still working on figuring out this swivel xacto knife.
 
Those are fantastic! I think I'm gonna steal that murse kicking design for one of mine...it will be 3rd generation then? Gotta ask, what's the WHL? It's a hockey league in canada and Washington up here, but don't recognize the Scottie dog...
