its just a webtex webbing and para trousers and green fleece at the moment waiting for my dmps to arrive

I'd go with Olive Drab furniture, but worn looking, like Juni0r's Glock but green. Then use scrim net wrapped loose-ish and witrh bunches around the handguards.

That's my L1A1 with scrim around the handguards + a bit of camo net nylon squiggly bits.

ok thanks ive been using camo tape at the moment and its really nice becasue its soft and very reliable so it doesn't peel off

also kind of off topic but what are peoples opinion on lmgs/m249/m60s becasue ive got my brother into airsoft but hes saying he wont do it unless he gets a lmg

thanks

I think they're cool as a Tag Heuer watch at the south pole.

But they're expensive and heavy and you don't gain any range on other AEG's so there's no practical reason to get one. I mean, yeah, you can get 3000 BB's in a box mag, but you can get normal sized Hi Cap AK mags that take 700 BB's. About the only time i could see 3000 BB's needing to be fired, and gaining a tactical advantage by not having to reload, is in a massive game where you needed to keep the heads of 50 ppl down...

thanks for all the help im thinking of camoing my gun but dont know how or what style to do bearing in mind i have a woodland loadout

I use the Halfords Camo paint as its fantastic quality and cheaper than the other paints you can get.

ok kool im thinking of doing my m4 like that in stripes but as woodland

do you have any tips or tricks to a dirst time sprayer bareing in mind im ok at art

thanks

 

[airsoftwarrior147]

just looked at your facebook page and the guns you do are awsome so are the helmets have you ever done a woodland/green/olive camo if so can you upload a pic to here or do you think youll try it

 

[Sam_G]

Depends on what you mean by woodland. The AK is the most "woodland" job i have done.

The halfords colours are quite limited. Its basically Tan, Brown, OD and Black. Krylon have 6 shades but i have not tried that paint as yet.

My advice would be spend alot of time getting the prep right.

Clean

dry off

tac cloth

paint in light layers.

To be fair and this may sound like advertising. But if you are not 100% confident in doing it then it is prob cheaper to get it done by someone that has done it before. Can work out cheaper. The paint is around £8 a can, plus the wipes, tac clothes and maskings etc. So a 3 tone paint job would cost around £35 and if you get it wrong its far harder to redo it.

 

[airsoftwarrior147]

ok thanks for the advice my freinds going to help me he's done it before using krylon and hes done a pretty good job on his sniper but thanks for the advice

the other thing is is it worth it for a socom suppressor and aimpoint for 40 pound considering i found a g&p aimpoint for 20

thanks

The G&P aimpoint I had was crap! think M_P had one that was equally pants! The dot would turn itself off with the slightest knock.

Price wise would depend on if they are new or used and the condition etc.

I've used the halfords camo paints to spray a few things, great paint ( am a very experienced model maker over 20 years) camo effects can be found laying about your home for example onion netting or the little net wash bags Ideal for snake skin style camo, green scrubbing pads ripped to shape for a soft edge. Just practice on old pieces of wood or A4

For hard edge lines use low tac masking tape, even scrunched up newspaper can all be used to good effect also depends on which way you spray against certain items. If you want really fine detail you gonna need an airbrush . As someone said before use light layers and wait between layers, if you can hang up the part so you can get 360 angel on it to see and spray evenly, a light rub with a very fine wet and dry paper, wash part if you can, use plastic primer on plastic, you can even use johsons floor polish to seal it all in ( if you can find it now) it will leave part with a semi matt finish and will be be very durable ( am luckily enough to have half a bottle of this stuff). Just remember patience and practice

Do you think you can do an MTP/MC-Esque Paintjob on My G19?

Had the same experience. Used on a WE M14. Few shots and it turned off XD

 

[TPI]

Yeah a Couple of guy's at HTA Have the same trouble used it one skirmish sold it to go back to a T1 by G&P which was Brilliant.

 

[M_P]

My g&p started good but as said developed issues shortly after being used a couple of times.

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

I got an Aimpoint in a swap deal with an AEG ages ago, it came without a box or anything so I've no idea who makes it, but it's a fantastic sight. Never turned off or anything, awesome fun to use once it's sighted in correctly on an accurate gun.

 

[Ian_Gere]

I've tried Krylon paint. TBH I don't think it's so much better than Plasti-kote that it's worth the extra money. But then again I haven't used specialist primers for particular surfaces. The thin layers thing is crucial with it though as it forms drips easily.

Has anyone used this brand of paint before?

 

[dazzer306]

Here's one of my on going projects, started off life as a G&G raider GBBR. The plastic body had to go way to much flex. So that went for a metal body, the naff two piece outter barrel set up went and a new one piece replaced it, next to go was the front RIS a nice new 7'' noveske RIS went on, upfront the sight is a vitor flip up, last thing to change was the stock, off came the crane stock and on went this sliding stock jobby, the only part which is left to change is the flash hider. All in all was a easy job to do hardest part was choosing which bit to put on it, just a couple of bit to go on front grip and a sight. I have a 552 sight but it don't look right, have seen a CAA fore grip I like the look of. So enough waffle here's the gun.
