Reply With QuoteThat looks sick LoneWolf! Sooo much better than the green/yellow. It blends really well. What kind, and what color spray paint did you use, or is it airbrushed? What kind of net did you use? Again, it came out awesome.
Ya I did take a little more time and kept working the color until I was satisfied with the transitions. I think it would be a lot more effective honestly. Every time the light hits it the color comes out a little differently depending on the angle.

I bought a soccer ball bag and cut it into smaller pieces to work with.
Here's all the items I used:
Did a base of tan and started with some heavy dark brown snake skin tiger stripes then thought about how much I like the ATACS and decided to blend it all into an ATACS like Snake skin combo. I finished by very lightly through the netting dusting with the grey primer for a lighting affect without changing the colors. 3 Coats of clear and called it a day.

Thanks Nick it took me awhile to feel good about it and the pictures still don't do it justice! Wish I had the coin to have the barrel fluted and media blasted. I think that would bring the whole rifle together and cut back some weight.
I work out of my town and when i return at home in 2 week i take a new pic

Looks good I ordered the same stock can't wait to get it. How do you like the vortex scope?
I haven't had this scope hunting yet but it seems bright and clear at the range. It's held zero for over 100 shots and tracks well.
If I was to complain about something , it's that it seems a little picky about where you place your eye and not a lot of eye relief. I'm not sure I would like it on a hard kicking caliber. Overall, for the money, to put on a lower recoil rifle, I think it's great!

I'm interested in how you attached this photo! Looks like it's been inbedded in the thread!
I had the gun on a white background, and used a hi powered flash pointed at the ceiling. Then before i uploaded it I tweaked it in gimp-2 (its a free photoshop) to make the background completely white. I just started taking pictures this way, Its the best way to take pictures of objects or items for ebay. If you want more information i was thinking of doing a video on youtube showing how to do this.
I would need to get a better camera then my canon power shot lol. Natural evening or morning light gets the best pics for me.
You might be able to get something close to this if you use the built in flash with your gun on a white background. Might take more photoshop/gimp2 work though. maybe a green screen setup would work too. . . I have never tried green screen.
Some before and after shots, I loved the realtree camo pattern but this comes close enough and WOW what a difference (: Did need some tweeking with a Timney Trigger set up FYI. And I swapped the strap and bipod after the pic incase someone was wandering..
That looks Awesome LoneWolf! Excellent workmanship!
Thanks! Quite proud of the outcome!

Y'all have some pretty sharp looking rigs. All the paint schemes look great too.
For those with the Boyds, how do you like them? Has anyone been able to do some range testing with them?
