Rolled out a few on Friday:

Z MRV for my boy Alman

Champ Boss for Alman

Used Halo I got in a trade for me: (tried something new and dyed the underside flight plate)

Used Striker for me:

Damn those look nice Phil. The color on the flight plate realy gives a nice 3d effct.

 

[ZBoazMobster]

I had to keep looking at them to see what it was. I thought I was looking at the under side of the disc, and couldn't figgure out how the image was flat. Then it dawned on me all at once. Just waking up, that's my excuse... and I'm sticking to it.

 

[Jazzbones]

Love the under-plate dyes Philman. I have some Crystal plastic I will be stealing this technique for sooner rather than later.

 

[LeewayeDiscGolf]

philman that halo is awesome!

Well my first attempt at dying is below. From what I've read DX takes dye poorly and it's pretty evident with my results. However I've seen people here do and it it looks okay. I just wanted to add some color to this disc but it still didn't make a huge difference. Initially dipped the disc in Scarlet RIT dye for several hours. Then I just attempted to use the marble method posted here.

165 DX Roc

The disc just kinda looks dirty but has an okay textured look. But not what I was hoping for at all.


I will have to get some better plastic to dye.

 

[burntneuron]

Thanks BennettUA and Moon. Love your guys work, made me try to do more than simple black stencil style. What's Octhrowberfest? I've heard of and seen a few dyes for it around...

Nice work as always philman, love that halo. Gotta try the underside of the flight plate dye.

Just realized this didn't post properly.
Soft Ion done for a friend.

 

[schnelle]

^awesome and simple

 

[burntneuron]

Thanks schnelle, had been wanting to do that dye for a while, those ion's take dye so well.

 

[philman]

Thanks for the props guys. For any of you going to BG Ams this year I should have a table at the Flymart. Stop by and say HI. I'll be the bald guy with the ink.

DX Archangel - Her second dye, dark green came out real dark, but faded to a nice olive green. Lost at The Ranch in Reno, NV

Have you Checked at Archie's Pub? Just south of the course, they have a lost and found...

Love the Classic gaming vibe. I have not dyed a disc yet, but I've ordered vinyl.

I'm going to do some based on my tattoos. I'm posting pics in the Future Dyes thread. :thmbup:

I'll have to check Archie's, haven't been there in a while, didn't see it the last time I was there.

Look forward to seeing your dyes, love the 8bit style.

 

[Nuke]

Here are my first 4 dyes. Red Sox logo on a glow destroyer. Guinness Harp logo on a Monarch. UNC Charlotte 49ers logo on a XL, and a Georgia Tech logo and some marbling on a glo buzzz. All handcut and just using black dye. Hope to start expanding some colors and stuff. Also need to get a swivel exacto, my curves are struggling.

 

[burntneuron]

Good looking dyes Nuke, dig the shading on the UNC 49ers logo.

 

[LoPan12]

Swivel blades are expensive...try this for curves: Hold your blade still, and rotate the disc. Then you don't pull as much, and as a result, don't pull straight lines while trying to cut a wide curve.

 

[Nuke]

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll definitely try that for the curves. And there are 3 different shades of green on that 49ers logo but a- you can't really tell in the photo and b- the middle gray and black got a little close to each other in darkness.

 

[strive]

This is my fourth dye BUT my first legitimate (i cut out the design and everything) dye... I put an insignia in it with my initials. I like it anyway:

11x Firebird

 

[LoPan12]

very clean, i like it!
