If you mean the pistol finished in the P51 Mustang theme its a WE GBB 1911

Cheers folks. The AA12 was fun to work on. Nice flat slabs of plastic to paint.

More roll off the bench.

Now need to look at a P38 paint scheme.

Depends what you mean by distressed. Do you mean worn metal or a dusty appearance too?

Many thanks. Turned out nice that one.

S&T Tavor Custom Helmet Number 5

Must have been the later model they brought out. The wife has had this one a while. Think it was the first version which is limited

And that will cut anything as long as it's something like a vector image?

Not really sure.

That's the fellow. Nice bit of kit but the version the wife has will only cut patterns from a cartridge or the website.

Critacut. Not ideal as it's very limited when it comes to the kind of stencils I need. Cam cut my hex stencils and digital stencil.

No, I tend to pack them with something to stop paint getting to the internals

Some of the stencils I get cut and some I do at home on one of the wifes craft cutters.

Cheers folks, always appreciate feedback. I spoke to Josh who makes the helmets a couple of days ago. I think he may have been away. I'll mention to him to check his inbox.

Cracking job on the M4 Asimov

I'll give him a nudge. Have you messaged him?

If you join my FB page : geartechcustompaint and look through the albums he is tagged in on the ones with the helmets in. He usually makes them to order. If people want them painting he post direct to me when they are made.

I'll openly admit I came to the forum after the clamp down on FB. I started out with the paint business just over 12 months ago and the sales side kind of happened unexpectedly. FB was a great selling platform and it was easy to keep up with what was happening in the UK airsoft community as all the pages were very active. With recent changes I was suddenly struggling for an outlet. I hadn't got a web site up and running as FB was keeping me busy enough. Sales had grown pretty rapidly with January being the best month I'd had so far. The paint side of things had taken on a life of its own with people recommending me as soon as someone mentioned they were looking for someone to spray something so it was plain sailing. Someone recommended the forum and having been a supplier to the WWII renenactment crowd some years ago I knew they could be a good place to make your self known if you were prepared to put in the time and keep an active appearence. I don't think it will be a bad thing if there is a sudden influx. You will always get the odd noob but that happens in any hobby. I know that forums can be bitchy when they aren't monitored carefully by the admins and I think that is why FB became so popular. I would like to work with those who run the site as it could be a good platform. My name is getting out there but its not one that everyone thinks of at the moment when they are looking for new kit. Forums aren't for everyone and there are enough retailers out there who are big enough that they don't need to plug themselves at every given opportunity. Guess we will see what happens.

Superb work so far, can't wait to see it finished.

Still very rough around the edges. Working on it as we speak but have another being built for me. http://www.geartechcustompaint.com/support-guns.html

I am part of the Airshooters team but a business in my own right. I use their techs and I do paint jobs for them.
