Went out and got some spraypaint at Wallyworld and taped off the SG9 with packaging tape. It went pretty smoothly. Lots of pics for ya'. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers.

You just made my dream real. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sat Jul 04, 2009 2:04 am SnowBunny Veteran Member Joined: 21 Jun 2009 Posts: 158 Gone Last edited by SnowBunny on Sun Jul 19, 2009 12:21 am; edited 1 time in total   Posted: Sat Jul 04, 2009 11:05 am scroller99 Veteran Member Joined: 03 Dec 2008 Posts: 272 Location: Hopewell Junction Great job looks cool _________________ crosman2250 xt crosman 1077 crosman modded 2240 benji 392 drozd bumble bee   Posted: Sat Jul 04, 2009 12:55 pm oddtodd Silver Status Member Joined: 30 Dec 2008 Posts: 2029 Location: Richmond, IN USA Nice shading! looks good to me. _________________ Airguns: Two starlings talking "Larry, did you hear that?

Tape is too hard to work with and makes for only sharp lines. Real tiger stripes are more fluid. I think that you could "draw" them on with the hot glue, and then once you paint over it, it should peel right off fairly easily. Also, I think that dusting the top of the gun with one final coat of light brown spray paint would make it look more realistic. I may do another one like this and try a different technique. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers.

That way you can adjust the softness of the edge, you have to have a steady hand though. That siad, looks great as is.   Posted: Sat Jul 04, 2009 6:49 pm aircube Veteran Member Joined: 02 May 2009 Posts: 261 come to think of it, you could airbrush the softness on the border now that its painted. charcoal/black or dark redish orange might look cool.   Posted: Sat Jul 04, 2009 8:39 pm Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA The aesthetics aren't my cup of tea, but as always Roger - I admire your creativity and technique.
