Just wanted to compliment you on your work, fella.

What you do looks insane, although too glitzy for my taste. Still deserves a big shout out.

Cheers folks, always appreciate feedback. I spoke to Josh who makes the helmets a couple of days ago. I think he may have been away. I'll mention to him to check his inbox.

Most airbrush stencils are made in the US so that doesn't surprise me at all. The other way would be to buy yourself a vinyl cutter and get decent at converting images to vector files (that's what I did).

Do you paint inside the magwells?

No, I tend to pack them with something to stop paint getting to the internals

Craft Robo?

Critacut. Not ideal as it's very limited when it comes to the kind of stencils I need. Cam cut my hex stencils and digital stencil.

Man, great work.

 

I saw you on Facebook a couple of weeks ago after browsing the Specna Arms page there.

 

I'm in love with that Orange & White camo M4.

Might have to see about that one.

I have an old C200-20 Craft Robo I used to use for bike helmets and stuff. Great little machine for the money, cuts well down to pretty small resolutions too!

Do you mean Cricut buddy? My wife has one she uses in her day job. "Sure Cuts a Lot" software, neat little tool.

That's the fellow. Nice bit of kit but the version the wife has will only cut patterns from a cartridge or the website.

For what reason does your website state "RIFs" in the shop instead of "airsoft guns"?

Not really sure.

And that will cut anything as long as it's something like a vector image?

Yeah the wife's one was £300, can do pretty complex shapes, have found vectors work the best but generally any picture that has pretty clean lines.

Must have been the later model they brought out. The wife has had this one a while. Think it was the first version which is limited
