So I just started. Got a nice basecoat of Desert Beige. I was applying the diamondback stencil when my plotter started acting up. I will add w more colors, a brown and maybe a tan or green. not sure yet... So here's what I have so far before the software started acting up...  .JPG) |

That's going to look so sick! Won't you have problems with the painted plastic parts in the summer? I have a Lapco aluminum foregrip if you want. The paint should be better on aluminum.

Nah, the duracoat sets up like steel. I havent really had an problems with plastic...Well, running in to a tree and gouging the plastic isnt really the paints fault... |

well, I made some boneheaded errors when laying out the stencil There is a definite flow to the scales; So late at night, while all zonked on cold medicine I placed some of them backwards. Not a big thing, but I'm such a perfectionists... The lesson, dont stencil when you are tired or sick! (Thanks to my wife who looked at the first layout and said that diamonds in a line looked wrong. While a snake may have them in a line, you never see a straight snake....with a a hopper attached. So I randomized the diamonds a bit.) I've learned some good lessons and will need to fix my stencil before I try this again. So here she is with a fresh woodland brown and an application of diamond stencils.   |

Ok, I couldnt take it anymore. I peeled off the stencil. So now I have a favor to ask. Give me your intelligent opinion. If you like it, tell me why, if you dont, again, tell me why. My goal is to become a better painter. Thanks!  |
