Rattle-can gun camo - show me your *bold* patterns

There's money to be made there!

Ah ok, let you off - as you were trying to develop, not play the games...?

There is lots of money on the platform. But it's bloody hard to be 'proper' successful.

I'm actually flying out to San Francisco next week with my (18yr old) son for the Roblox Developers Conference - he is a legit Roblox Developer (Gameplay mechanics coding) working for one the main Roblox 'partner' firms.

Took him years to get to the point where he could make anything other than pocket money from it.

But he now earns nearly double my salary.....?

I think your geometric pattern turned out really well. I've not used it personally but one of the lads at work swears by Frog tape when decorating as you wet the edge once you've applied it and it creates a better seal. That should prevent and bleeding under the tape.

Ahhhh, is that the secret to making it work better?  To be fair it usually does make a decent edge on the flat and smooth parts, it's where it gets tricky on stippled surfaces or transitions in geometry that it sometimes fails.

Anyway, I've got the vinyl mask on the way soon, so whatever gets painted next will be done with that

I used to use fineline tape or Tamiya model tape to stope edge bleed. That said, I was using an airbrush and lower pressures than a rattle can will achieve. Frog tape is fine for decorating but for crisp lines on hard surfaces with very thing paints (like aerosols) they're too crepey and the thickness of the tape itself leaves an upstanding edge you have to sand back.

 
Monitors/TVs and airsoft pews don't mix well ?

 
OOF. Was it a ricochet or did you pull the trigger while it was pointed at the monitor?

Regardless, why are all of your setups so cluttered? There's more than a few pics posted recently of peoples setups and they're all like this. It's agonising.

I was trying to make a set of grips and slides fit with a mag in the well (because the mag was catching on the new grip) and the safety is really weird on the Auto 9.

I am planning on a big tidy up at the weekend when I install a new monitor and monitor stand.

Old 4 monitor stand will be available to reasonable offers  ?

It's all there for a reason!  (Well, mostly)

My plastic bin has quite a few holes in it, for ... "reasons"

And another monitor situated directly behind it...

Guys please! Fire your stuff nowhere near your setups. I test mine in an empty garage with a mesh net wrapped around the chrono until it literally blew the zip out and i'm figuring out a new solution that can withstand 500fps.
