Those who know me... know i like to personalize my stuff.  I was planning on doing a digicamo pattern to be a relatively good match in woods as well as urbanish areas, and i came up with a good camo scheme.  Then all I needed was templates, and not a single store in the entire universe seems to carry that low tac ahesive sheet stuff, so I was out of luck.  For days i sat around with nothing but a reciever completely stripped of paint, and then it hit me...

SPRAY ON ADHESIVE AND GRAPH PAPER! YAY!

Suprisingly, my ghetto method turned out very nice and is very strong to top it off.

The left side:


The right side:


and the money shot:


In between the 3 coats of different coloured paint, there were 6 coats of primer and 7 coats of varnish, and it is tough as nails... well, not literally.  I'm still overly protective of it though :P

And to top it all off, my rampage board and jcs trigger arrived, and i'm at the point where i'm running out of upgrades lol!

My major complaint about existing camo patterns is that they are wayyyyyyy to dark to be used most places...  Trees normally have a light brown/grey colour, and longer grass tends to turn yellow....  My plan was to make a pattern that would be good in many different forested areas, urban areas, grasslands, as well as slightly desert like areas, and i think i succeeded for the most part.

Questions/comments?

Amazing work.  Took alot of time and effort I know from experience.  Still not the colors I would use, but you accomplished what you wanted.

Keep in mind the brightness of the light on it is about equivilant to direct sunlight.  In person it's like a slate colour...

It's a good reg, but it's old and unused befor I bought it, so it's not as good as it should be.  I tried to get some parts for it but the guy never sent them...

I'm going to probably get a palmers stab after I start working full time in the summer.


Remember everyone, vote in GOTM :) :P

And someone open up a TOTM!

hmm i never saw it....


P.S. i think it's dumb to paint the grip/reg etc. because you'll be holding it anyways, and if you were to paint it, the paint would just rub off over time because you're always holding it.

man thats beautiful...

 

i had a disaster a little while ago with my gun. I attempted to make a tigerstripe-type pattern on my a5 with olive drab and flat black with tan. The primer and olive basecoat was perfect, until i got impatient and taped it and sprayed the black too quickly....all peeled off when i pulled the tape back  ill try it again soon once i get the heart.

 

excellent job, keep it clean!
