I just got into paintball and picked this up about a month ago.  I got some more stuff coming for it but here it is so far.  Scroll to post 10 for bigger pictures.







I have a Lapco Apex ready Big Shot coming still and another mount to raise the red dot a little higher.  I'm also going have my cousin paint the whole gun in blue tiger.  Here's what he did to his gun.

Excuse me, that's clearly white tiger Tongue.  When he does my gun, it'll be blue zebra, I mean tiger.

The zebra/tiger would look better if the stripes on the hopper and barrel shroud were going in the same direction . . .




. . . and if the rest of it was painted as well.

Nice start. As Mack mentioned, make sure your cousin paints the striping in the same direction. Update this thread once it's finished.

Well, I got my new barrel and mount today.  I'm liking it (Updated pics in first post).  I want to get an original X7 shroud because they're a little longer, but I don't know if it'll fit on the phenom.  It looks like it will, but...man this gun got expensive fast.

Hopefully, I'll have mine painted by next weekend.  I just got to figure out what I want painted and what to leave black.

And yeah, he wishes he did the stripes the same way.  Good thing hoppers are cheap.

Hmm now I can't decide if I'm going to paint my gun tiger stripe or digi camo.

lol, I was just checking out the painting guide and now I kinda want to do digi instead.  I'll probably stick with the tiger though.

I was thinking about doing it 2-tone.  I could maybe do silver first, then the blue over it.  That does sound like a good amount of extra work though, and I'm pretty lazy.

I'm still going to paint the apex tip, part of the stock, and parts of the mount/scope stuff.

Now I just have to paint the scope, then I'll finally be done with this Tongue.

It looks good . . . but tiger stripes really should be horizontal.

Sorry, but you're wrong. Blue tigers do in fact have vertical stripes.

Actually, you're wrong.  While blue and orange tigers have vertical stripes it is a well-known fact that blue and black tigers have horizontal stripes.

I see where you made a mistake. You are confusing the markings of the Asiatic Blue/Black Tiger with those of the Indian Blue/Black Tiger.  Common mistake.

Actually, you are confusing the markings of the Indian Blue/Black tiger with the markings of the Indian Black/blue tiger.  (The Black/Blue tiger which has the vertical stripes has been hunted to the point of extinction because of its less effective camouflage while the Blue/Black tiger, with its vertical stripes, is actually quite abundant in the wild* because of its more effective horizontal stripes.)

*The Blue/Black's horizontal stripes are so effective that it is only seen rarely and has never been successfully hunted.

Wow, really guys. Clap  I just wanted to paint it and make it look cool, which I believe I succeeded at.  I could care less if it actually resembles real camo.  So what would you like me to call it?

And yes this is COD Tongue, what's real life? Confused

Now your ignorance is truly showing through. It is a common misconception that the Indian Black/Blue Tiger has been hunted to extinction. This is a fallacy as they simply blend so well with their surroundings in the Black/Blue marshes of Punjab that none have been sighted in years. However, either way, you have conceded the fact that horizontally striped Black/Blue tigers existed, making this an accurate portrayal of natures beautiful design, therefore I win. Clown

Actually, based on your last sentence, I win.  I never said that horizontally striped tigers didn't exist.  I argued that horizontal stripes were more effective than vertical stripes.  Changing you position to support horizontal striping is akin to throwing in the towel and conceding defeat.  Victory is mine!

Your statement implies that vertical strips are incorrect, indicating your non-belief of their existence in nature. I have proved you wrong, please accept your shameful defeat with grace. All you college kids think you're so smart.

I did a paint scheme not too long ago on a piece and used blue and black to make tigerstripe.  But I also used silver as a third color.  The combination was outstanding.  I wish I still had that piece to show.

But, as is, I think your paintjob is nice.  But you should consider adding a third color.  Here's a tip:  Try it on a sheet of paper first to see if you like the combo.  That way, you won't scramble your marker.

Your logic is as faulty as your preference for vertical stripes. Indicating a preference for vertical stripes* (as in my quote above) does not indicate a disbelief in the existence of the significantly inferior horizontal stripes; it merely shows an understandable preference for the superior striping.


*Better camouflage and they provide a "slimming" effect!

Your fail is epic. Your lack of concept regarding inference is an even more epicer fail. We all know what you meant. Your judgement is clouded by your love of the horizontal stripe. One might as well refer to you as a hor-lover.

My younger days between marriages have nothing what-so-ever to do with this conversation.  Nothing makes the difference between our generations more apparent than your preference for the vertical stripes.  I should have realized that a vertical-generationer (or "vir-gen) would be incapable of logic.  Your lack of social contact is obvious from your inability to choose the superior pattern.  Your only hope is to take a sample of each pattern and compare them and hope you finally "get lucky" in making the right choice.
