Nice, what dye are you using to get the olive?

I had a crack on a couple of bits over lockdown but they didnt turn out so well and i had to overspray them

good to know, although my parts ended up too dark so i doubt i'll be able to bring them back, but will bear in mind for future.

That green looks great! 

I think the FNX's magazine bases would look good in the green also.

You can run very hot water over them for a decent while, it can leech the dye out, just don’t warp anything lol

i did try that just to ensure i didnt end up with green fingers next game day so they're pretty well stuck as is.

ahh well, nothing major, worst case it's all bits i can replace.

They are a different, rubberised plastic so will end up being a different colour green

They look class ?

 

[Guest]

He was happy, variability of TM polymers varies the resulting colour, but still pretty good

The MP7 ??

Cool! How do you apply it? I've only heard of people using spray paint so I'm not familiar with using dye.

I know it's an oldish thread, but that green FNX is lush
