Myers' SCAR/M24/P90 *NEW PAINT*

[Myers]

*NEW PICS TOWARDS BOTTOM.*

Old paint job.









*EDIT* Decided to take some indoor shots as well. One with flash, one without.





Let me know what you guys think.

*UPDATE*

Merry freakin' Christmas.





*UPDATE* EPIC FAIL

Threw some fresh paint on the SCAR.









****UPDATE****

Redemption.










*UPDATE* Better shots.





*UPDATE* New paint. Not sure how I feel on this one, was mainly just experimentation. Didn't have the paint that I wanted so this will probably be painted over within a week. Also, I seem to have misplaced my *good* camera, so sorry for the shitty quality. I'll upload some new ones when I happen to find my camera.





*UPDATE* Found my camera. Also found the rubber butt pad while I was searching for the camera. WIN!







*UPDATE*

Just picked up a TM P90 from Yankee.









*UPDATE* New paint on the P90.







Some outside shots.

Very nice, Myers. Nice to see you posting again too.

Anyway, I would suggest more wear on pieces that see the most use. The flash hider, bolt, fire selector, etc.

Curious as to how you got the dirty look, though.

[Myers]

Thanks GB. I tried wearing down as many metal pieces as I could, but unfortunately I could only find really fine steel wool, so it took forever to wear out the few piece's that I did.

As for the dirty look, it was really simple actually. I just took some flat back spray paint and sprayed it all over a shredded rag. Smudge it all over your gun, and viola! Instant fake "dirtyness!"

Why not just ... throw some mud around? It's reversible, looks natural and blends in well!

[Myers]

I was looking for the more greasy, smudged, worn look, and I'm pretty sure mud would get really messy. Plus it would eventually crumble off. Paint is, to an extent, permanent.

Because then it would actually be dirty, like in real life! These guns are all replicas, therefore the dirtiness must also be replicated on a 1:1 scale

;D

Every picture you post... I swear I cry from laughing so damn hard.

Myers, that looks real legit, great job! And I agree with GB, more wear on the high traffic areas.

Ozone, I call them Reaction Gifs. I have a HUGE folder of them bookmarked, for facebook resopnses. Some of them make it here as well

Nice job Myers. Dirt I think is only something you want to put on while in the field. Its messy and a bit impractical inside the house. Looks really nice anyhow.

I stole your idea and did it to my shotgun I'll get some pics when I can find my camera.

Looks Sexy!

Thanks for the comments guys! Constructive criticism is welcome, so keep the ideas coming.

Sorry for the double post, added a couple pictures of the new M24.
