Thanks, I used two different patterns. The tank and back of hopper Vs. the rest, I'm not sure which I like more yet. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

I went to a hobby store to pick up some paint. 5 little bottles for $2.50 a piece. I used more then half of each of them but have some left over if it needs touch-ups. Enamel paint made by Model Master: Flat Black, European Gray, Armor Sand, Green Zinc Chromate, and Medium Field Green. They went on in that order. I sponged the black and gray, then paintbrushed the others. For the tank, drop forward, and part of the hopper I sponged instead of brushed the loam and green. I paintbrushed the gas fittings. Finally I put some layers of Miniwax Polycrylic in a nice dull Clear Satin to protect it. My intention was to have the black and gray as a backround for shadow effect, then the green and brown forground to match all the light leafy vegitation in Florida. Master of no particular environment, but good at many. When you look at it from a distance it does that digital camo effect, the small pattern forms a larger one and gets fuzzy which makes it less noticed. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

My hands will be over those so it will wear more, and you won't see the color anyway. I also left the back left corner of the hopper unpainted so that I can see when I get low on paint if I'm opening up with it. I am thinking about putting black athletic grip tape over the grip/palmers also. It gets slick when the condensation/sweat/paint gets on it. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

Do both - Ghille will have you stick out like a sore thumb if you don't update your camo after you veg out in it for different locations. If you paint it, you can then tie some natural vegitation to the marker/yourself for what you are concealed in.

Started missing when I was aiming for the head, old cheap paint and I was a good distance away. Anyway, you'll see: http://media.putfile.com/MOV0037151 - http://media.putfile.com/MOV0037151 Confirmation: http://img123.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc003728mb.jpg"> Now that's taken care of, check out my camo paintjob in the woods. The photo has me in it, then the video picks up in the same location to reveal my location more clearly. You have to move a little different in ghille, it may look funny. I hope all the links work, enjoy! ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!!! WOW!! Im impressed with your camo. I have a ghillie suit too buts it a desert one. i need to get some video like that. the only sugestion is that the gas release from you gun gives you away 65% I have spec on making a supressor that will eliminate that. you can get the idea from my pictures. http://photos.yahoo.com/raverfusion@sbcglobal.net - http://photos.yahoo.com/raverfusion@sbcglobal.net its a whisper barrel that made it from its supresses the noise some but mainly hides that gas release! |

I like your hopper. I don't mind the report/CO2 puff of my marker, I like to work up fast and close so it doesn't matter anyway. Harass-disapear, harass-disapear... makes fun game. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |
