Black Alligator skulls

Here are a few from this past year. I plan on adding some leds behind the eyes next year to make them glow.
Just an additional charge, to make another dollar.

Customers are going crazy over them. I let the customer pick their own eye color.
Show them to your customers and make some extra money.
If you want to make eyes that glow. You can pick everything up from Radio Shack for 12.00
You will have to paint your own eyes tho, since the paint on the eyes you order is not translucent.
Simply order Shark Flint eyes, and Paint yourself.

Coop,
I do my gators for 11.00 an inch to clean, degrease and whiten.
Understand that you do not need to degrease as much in order to paint. I degrease just enough to pull the teeth. Taping off about 80 teeth sucks.
I charge an extra 75.00 to blacken a skull. Will change it next year to a "by inch price"
Eye size depends...... 11' probably 32,34 mm..... apoxie sculpt eyes in.
paint. FLAT Black Lacquer, Add a Flat Clear to protect the black.
Then will charge an extra 60.00 for the eyes to illuminate next year.

Thanks everyone for you comments, I didn't post for my pat on the back tho.
By all means you all pull my pictures off and show them to your customers. You will be suprised at how many will like it. Sell it and make some more money.
