Awesome tips guys, thanks.

 

I've repainted the grips so now they have a few different colours/layers and I have ordered some clear gloss varnish. So a little too late to follow your advice

 

I figure I can always start again if my half arsed technique doesn't work

Thanks guys

 

To polish the ejection port cover I raided my wife's nail stuff! She has these cuboid nail files with four different surfaces on them. File, buff, smooth and shine. They work great for all sorts of stuff!

 

I think I am going to repaint the grips before I varnish them. I want them a bit lighter I think. I just painted those with back, dark umber, and crimson acrylic paints. A coat of burnt umber or even an ochre should do the job

Another boring, slightly blurred, hand gun pic!

 

I'm still bored so I have just painted the grips to get a wood effect. Pleased with it so far but I need to get some kind of varnish to make them look like nice shiny wood! I also polished that shiny thing in the middle. I don't even know what it's called I'm such a noob

 

EDIT: I might polish up the trigger one day too to give it a bit of a custom look.

Just painted the slide of my KJW KP02/p229. There was nothing actually wrong with it except the paint finish is a little on the shiny side. So I have applied a couple of thin coats of Plastikote just to take the edge off.

 

It's a very subtle difference but I'm pleased with it

A cheap and cheerful shoulder holster off ebay and a Harrington style jacket from Tesco!

 

80's cop movie anybody?

[Gun picture thread]

One's on my list too. It being slightly oversized is a wee bit off putting though.

I was looking for an excuse to post a group shot. Then I realised I don't need an excuse to post a group shot!

Good job I bought that mask specifically for my ultra light rig. Just tried using it with my G36c and even with the Eotech it's practically impossible to get a good sight picture. Do not try one of these masks with iron sights

 

I guess it's the NOB for the one handed weapons and my M88 for anything I actually want to aim

 

NOB.

 

[Load-Out / Loadout Picture topic]

Yup..that was the plan I guess I might have a belt and holster for the Sig too...but that's it.

 

The mask is a NOB Heavy Duty Full Face Mask from Tiger111HK. http://airsoft.tiger111hk.com/p4409/NOB-Heavy-Duty-FULL-Face-Mask-with-Anti-Fog-Lens-(BK)/product_info.html

 

I am pretty sure it's meant to be a Save Phace clone. They are certainly very similar in terms of appearance, At least as much as I can tell from photos. The best thing is that it fits over my hipster glasses and seems to be pretty good on the fogging front!

[Load-Out / Loadout Picture topic]

Wasn't sure whether to post this in the gun thread, the what have you just bought thread, or here...

 

The mask arrived to day to complete my ultra, ultra, ultra lightweight rig Just add jeans and t-shirt

8'x10' camo tarp, button compass, emergency whistle, tent pegs, bungee with caribiners, Gerber Bear Grylls compact multi tool, glow sticks, emergency shelter.

 

Sourced from Ebay, Amazon and pound shops!

 

Yeah I know, all pretty off topic stuff but it's for my zombie/airsoft bug out bag

[Load-Out / Loadout Picture topic]

Phew...I'm lucky I'm a fatty

[Load-Out / Loadout Picture topic]

Army tarp it is then. I will Czech out the bedding roll too...

 

[Load-Out / Loadout Picture topic]

Oops...double post.

[Load-Out / Loadout Picture topic]

Yeah I guess I should wear it. Will be going for civilian clothing including a body warmer to soak up the hits

 

Cheers for the tarp tip. Will look out for one. Or I might hold true to the civvy aspect and just get a typical garden tarp.

[Load-Out / Loadout Picture topic]

No I probably won't wear it. I play pretty tight CQB and it will just get in the way.

 

I'm a bit of a zombie geek so it's just my way of expanding my role playing universe. I use the day pack for when I take the dog out for a long walk, sans airsoft stuff of course

 

I'm not actually a prepper but I do like to be prepared if I'm going to be out walking for a day. I have just ordered a Bear Grylls Compact multi tool to finish the emergency kit and I think I will get a cheap tarp and maybe a hammock to put in the bag too.

[Load-Out / Loadout Picture topic]

 

This is what I am calling my Bug Out Loadout. The basic premise is only to take what I can fit in my bug out bag

 

Pictured is a Mil-Com 30l Molle Daysack, A Viper tactical belt and pistol pouch. A KJW p229r(?) An ASG Mac 10 and of course a mid sized emergency kit

 

The emergency kit which is by no means complete contains: Approx 12 feet of paracord, fire striker and cotton balls for tinder, button compass, craft knife, credit card sized multi-tool, safety pins, mini cable ties, space blanket, anti-bacterial wipes and various medical supplies. I will be adding some painkillers, a mini torch and a decent mini multi tool will replace some of the other stuff at some point.

 

Not pictured is a face mask which is yet to be delivered and various airsoft sundries inside the bag...gas, BB's, silicon spray, towel, torch etc.

 

When Z-Day happens for real I will just replace the 229 and the Mac 10 with a crowbar, hammer and some MRE's.

[The 'What have you just bought' Thread]

Just ordered what looks to be a copy of a Save Phace mask from Tiger111hk. The photos clearly show space in the foam padding for the arms of glasses so I am hoping mine will fit.

 

Hopefully just the job to complete a zombie apocalypse, p229, Mac 10, lightweight loadout.

[Gun picture thread]

Very nice....but let's not turn this into a competition...they are two of the nicest G36's Nickona has seen

[Gun picture thread]

Suppressor finally arrived. Doesn't fit. Not even close. Or at least not in the way it was intended However with the aid of some gaffa tape around the flash hider it is now an "outside the handguard, push fit, suppressor".

 

Who knows....it might even stay on

 

Looks awesome though. Sorry for the crappy phone pic.

[The 'What have you just bought' Thread]

I recently had the same thing from Tiger111HK. I ordered a suppressor and emailed them a month later only to be told it was out of stock. I chose an alternative though...which I am currently still waiting for.

 

And I've just bought some Humbrol Poly Cement to hopefully glue a spacer to the underside of my Px4 slide catch. The fix seems to work but it needs a stronger adhesive.

[The 'What have you just bought' Thread]

I use Tiger111hk a lot!

Looks like I'm running out of reasons not to get it

 

EDIT: Apart from not having any money due to putting 5k into my new kitchen...not really needing it...and the fact that I my last Tiger111HK order still hasn't arrived

[The 'What have you just bought' Thread]

Where did you get the subcompact PB?

 

If you don't mind me asking.

 

[Gun picture thread]

I just thought I would share this piece of loveliness!

 

TM Px4 in some kind of holster thingy from Tiger111HK on a Viper security belt.

 

Apologies for the substandard photography!

 

And the reason for taking this picture now? I just received, amongst other things, a new mag from Airsoftworld. Therefore justifying adding the mag holder to the holster!
