Some might remember this from a previous post about 2 months ago. I'm just now getting better pics from what I had.

Feel free to comment on it.

Not bad..Looks a little choppy where you milled the letters, but all in all, great job. Did you make the trigger from a double trigger? It came out good.

Thanks guys.

As for the hopper, that will be coming within the next few months (dont have any money for one). Once I do have the money, I want to get an eggy and r/t.

A5 MASTA: Its actually not that bad for woods as long as you dont get where there is some sun and have the paint reflect.

Benjichang: It was pretty hard trying to get it nice and rounded. My dremel wasn't being nice that week. As for the trigger. Its a GTA double trig. Just took a dremel and about 20min of time to get it right.

It would be nice if you were a little more specific, but I'm gonna assume you're talking about the paint job.
I used Testors 2 part Laqour system (primer and clear coat) and the base paint is Testors' "Saphire metal flake blue."
I used 3 coats of primer, 3 coats of paint, and 4 coats of clear.

I was, at first, very happy with the way it turned out. But, I am now finding out that Testors is not a verry durable paint and I'm getting chips in the paint already. Luckly, my dad is sending a chasis to be sandblasted and powdercoated so I may also send in my gun for the same.

I did pretty much the same thing. My dad sandblasted my gun then I did 2 coats of primer, 2 coats of paint per color, then 4 or 5 clear coats.

Na... Just get the one from tippmann and shape it yourself. You will save like $5-$10 that way.
