Here's my first attempt at painting a rifle... pix of yours?

Well, during the oscars last night, I started painting my rifle. Nothing better to do. I'd rather wrestle a porcupine then watch that. Anyway, I finished it up tonight, here is the finished result. I want to see it in the sunlight to see what it really looks like. Not perfect, but not bad for a first attempt. Anyone else want to showcase their work?

How to get the grass look

I laid down a coat of tan first, and then made "stencils" out of my wife's broom and masking tape. I then held them up to the weapon and dusted them with OD green and earth brown krylon. One thing that I noticed is that the further back I held the can, and the more I used brief shots, the better it turned out. I started to get less blending when it started getting dark and I was in a hurry to get done. Not all bad tho. Remember that the base coat is going to be the color of whatever is held up to the weapon when you spray. So if you want to do leaves, you might want to lay down a coat of green. I am going to experiment with laying down a base of green and tan, and then I will have some green grass and leaves in there too...

Looks like you did it the same way as me...
