I've made some 'painting'
It's definitely a step up from the crayons I usually have to eat play with, really rather fun!


I smudged a bit around the mag well (on the other side), and maybe there's a couple of other areas that need a bit of re-toning and some texture from the scrim added in, but as my first attempt it was a good learning experience.

All done with Halfords paint (black/khaki/green/brown) as it was easy to grab them on my travels.
Still want a muted red and a near-white to add some extra highlights.

 

Starting to make a fabric stock cover.

 

Balystik regulator
Been running one for years with no issues. Cheap and cheerful

Can I up the ante a bit?
 
Because I have the impulse control of a 7 year old, I’ve got one of these on the way

It’s called the B-team and I couldn’t resist it. Mine will look a bit like this
 

 
 
 

Bought nice short M4 as a backup and hot days to drop MTW loadout.
Also a fixed stock for my MTW.
 

My two custom builds are coming along nicely

Hi-capa carbine kit with new stock.
Nice and compact for travel on a motor bike

Chalk and cheese really.
 
As an owner of several ICS guns, I would probably buy the Scorpion Evo.
 
ICS have become too expensive for what you actually get these days, although the model you listed is £30 cheaper here.
 
 

Trop-darn well ***

I had this plan to put perforated fake plates in a Crye mairitime JPC to make the holy grail of PC that actually wouldn't be very hot/sweaty in summer, so I bought some hollow plastic medium SAPI dummies aaaaages ago and through sheer fuckin laziness I never got around to doing what I wanted with them until this week.  Tried just using a knife and mk1 hand first but being about 4mm thick and 'sticky' when cutting I could tell I was going to lose a finger if I proceeded, so I swapped to a holesaw + electric drill.  End result has the solid edges/outline needed to fill out any PC and looks exactly like a proper plate when inserted, but it weighs almost nothing and has just enough rigidity in the middle to support everything.
 

 
I'm already working on a connect-4 meme never fear.

I've seen the rules in the past and in the end I just didn't play those sites.
It seems stupid idea in my opinion.
Hpa has tournament lockable regulators etc, just require those. As for co2 being over anything has the potential to be over if you adjust/build/modify it that way.
I have a co2 m9 I've used for winter and have done for years simply as it's much better at dealing with the cold than my green gas pistols at the time.
All I'd have suggested is that you contact them and ask for clarification and then vote with your feet/wallet one way or the other. Not all site owners/operators are the sharpest of tools or brightest of lights.

sounds like they've decided banning hardware is the easy solution to the problem of asshole players
 
which fills me with confidence over the standard of play.....

The thing is CO2 is less effected by temperature than the various propane-based "insert colour here" gas. I know that some places were worried about CO2 == twelfty brazillion fps, even when there are plenty of gnus out there (Cybergun 1911, CZ's, etc) than safely shoot sub 330fps on CO2. When I had my CO2 1911 I simply popped a fresh bulb in at the chrono and fired 3 test shots and never had an issue.
 
Sounds like lazy marshalling and/or a lack of basic physics / engineering

Some UR Tactical GZ AK pouches 😎
 

Liking the shottie holster!

Finally with Christmas play time managed to finish what I’m calling an AK105-VSU.
 
Tried and hopefully succeeded in painting it in such a way it works with both the GZ and RG load outs 🤞
 
 

Well I got an unexpected Christmas present, as I won a FB comp from one of our advertisers Airsoft competitions. Entered it in October and forgot all about it Christmas Eve got message saying I had one.
Being sent to me on Tuesday. Looking forward to it. 

Just got my toystar daewoo k2c1 kit and put it together. Having owned the older classic version they have really upped their production quality. I was told this one is glass fibre polymer rather than straight plastic like the older one.  Flash hider is getting painted tomorrow.

GL + pistol is definitely interesting though I presume you've chosen munitions and know the rules of the site/s you want to play?  If you can't use TAGs or don't want to spend a fortune shooting them then all your launcher is is a big shotgun, except way less useful than even a cheap spring/pump tri-barrel and some sites have MEDs that make standard 'shower shells' a pain to employ given their range and spread.  But then again, a fun experience cracking the tube to reload and satisfying when you do tag someone.
 
If you want to use TAGs, get whatever you like the look of that has a tilting barrel, i.e. not the M203 or anything with a sliding barrel.  Sling mounts don't matter just buy paracord and you can easily make any sling attach to anything and some of the most popular slings used for legit guns use cordage as attachment for its' silence, versatility and strength.

Don't EVER stop the claim, not unless you have the goods or money in your hands.

:sudden desire for a bowl of spaghetti:

1)Well paid job
2)Credit cards
3)Understanding partner
4)time management (to tinker/diagnose and repair) 
5) sense of humour
6) will power. 
 

Thermos flask and a super soaker , you fill the thermos with boiling water , you then pour that in to the super soaker and it’s an Airsoft flamethrower ! 😉
