This is an idea I had for a camo mask...then I finally did it.  What do you think?  Everything is tied on.  NO glue.

the mask isnt bad but it might get fogged faster from the vents being blocked.

i like the paintjob on the gun 2 thats sweet

Thats what I thought before I did it, but they must put some other chemicals in it because when it dries its not sticky at all, its almost like its part of the plastic and the only way it will come off is if you wash it off w/ soapy water, and if there is no soap in the water it will not wash it off. You can, however, smear it a little when it dries if you press real hard w/ your thumb.

Hey, beautiful camo job on your marker! Very professional. Like the red dot sight, too- I've got the same one mounted on my flatlined 98C. Good piece of kit unless the sun's glaring off it.

As for the masks, some camo fabric works fine, but since you've done that, why not sew a few strips of fabric hanging off it, for a ghillies effect? Realistically, that camo pattern alone isn't that useful as camouflage. You need something to break it up more.

I did this to my mask and it works great, looks kinda like the old tiger stripe camo from vietnam.

i used brown and green. should i use black when the stuff is dry?

Nice mask! Another way of doing it:

Take an old pair of camo pants or shirt and cut it into 1-1.5 foot long, 1-2" wide strands and tie them through the more obscure vents, like near your ears, chin, or cheeks. This breaks up your image and shape more. And make sure they don't hang down and obscure your view.

If you read Durar's post...he mentions Goggle Skins.

I am doing the same to mine with a few differences.  Instead of the more army camo i am using mossy oak camo which actually has leaves an bark on it.  For vents i cut out some areas kinda like the shape of leaves.

If you coverd the entire mask with brown and green, then yes, if not, then no, I didn't cover my entire mask w/ paint so that I cuold use the natural black color of the mask. But I whould make sure that there is some black on the mask, the whole idea of camoing a mask is to break up your outline, that is how camoflage realy works, so you have to make sure that it is not a solid color and the colors are natural, also that it is coverd in iradic shapes.  

Skip the black.  There is no black in nature.  There is a reason that we stopped using that color in the new ACU (Advanced Combat Uniform, the replacement for the woodland and desert BDU's).  Don't use the facepaint, or even paint.  Just go to the local sprorting goods store, and get some camo tape, either the camo'd duct tape, or better, the removeable gun and bow tape.  Avoid any straight lines, again there are no real straight lines in nature.

First of all, are you talking about the new pixle camo for the Marine corp, if so then yes there is no black on the desert camo version, but there never was black on any desert camo, thats because there are no shadows or shade in the deasert and that is exactly what the black in camo is for, to help blend in when there is shade, which you only find in areas with vegitation, that is why the the “jungle” version of the pixel camo does have black in it, if you want to check on this go talk to a Marine. And  also, I never said I used straight lines.

ps. Just so you know, my father was a captian in the Marine Corp, and is currently fighting in Iraq.  

OK, I just found out what camo he was talking about.

I was reading the paper and saw that the army was changing to a pixel camo too, they all secretly wish they were Marines lol, Just kidding, I love the Army. Any way, the army’s pattern has no black on it because it is suppose to be a combination of  desert and woodland pixel camo patterns, so it can’t have black in it for the desert part.
