Re: MA-Ten Multicam Krylon *pic heavy*
Thank you for all the compliments
I put alot of time in only because I only had maybe an hour or 2 a day so it took about a month or so including drying time
I didnt work on it everyday but I did think about the patterns and shading Every Single Day and how it should be laid out and how to fade and all the little details.
Cutting out the patterns with an exacto is what took the longest. Wont do that again I found that I can use scissors faster and that I can cut any shape pattern with them just as good as I did with the exacto
I had a good time doing it Im going to do my Global Trades AK and my CZ 75B next.
I learned alot from this the next ones should look even better and not take as long

Sure I think I have some of the brownish/pinkish female stencils still in one piece and maybe some of the 1st color khaki and 2nd color dark brown ones Im just not sure they are all in one piece. But Ill post them

No just playing man, that's sexy as hell dude. How many hours invested in with all prep, stencils and paint? </div></div>
LOL to be honest it wasnt that hard to get the shading/shapes right it was laying
out the pattern correctly that was difficult. Too much of one color pattern wether it was khaki or the dark brown and it could/would ruin that particular section.
Also I never layed down a "wet layer" I always used very fast passes and never held the can too close. It would barely spray on/cover.
It has a very rough finish to it.
When I did the fade I held the can about 18-24" away and just barely caught the outside of the spray so it was very very light.
I did practice my shading technique first.
Total hours Id say close to 20 maybe more
I took my time but its been a long proccess.
Picking out the right section of pattern from the mat took a few days.
Its the small details which accumulate to bring the whole thing together

This. </div></div>
Yes you are reading that correctly Ballet Slipper Pink
I noticed different shades of it on a few of my crye boonies and my ebrelstock and obviously on my tab mat.
I have one boonie with a big glob of pink right on the top of it.
At first I thought it was Taupe but it didnt come close I also read other threads on the net and they all mentioned pink too so I practiced laying it down and got the fade/shade right.
