Photo Jackpot Edition!

Welcome back Folks! You're just in time for the photo avalanche!

Got a lot of stuff moved along enough to get some photos. I've also included a few that are just starting the trip, but thought you'd enjoy seeing them "before" and after :)

The Vulcan is probably my favorite for this week, but I'm really liking how the N7 Maverick is coming along. That should be done soon. Expect more photos soon, I kept a lot of stuff secret for now...ooh mysterious, right?

Have a great weekend and we'll meet back here soon!

Ok, with all the lip flapping out of the way, on to the photozzzz sorry some might be the dreaded iP4 versions, now in "Low-Rez w/ bad color correction!" :)

HALO Themed Vulcan is finally all done. Adding the dust and dirt was nerve-wracking :)

One of my little squirt guns. I was testing out the water-slide decals made by Chris over at http://vaultlol.com. Check out his awesome Fallout props!

I think this one is Mars themed? I made it to test out doing chipping and ended up liking the different color scheme. This was kina what started all the red guns..plus I bought a lot of red paint. Waste not-want not! :)

Yep, had to make some kinda Mass Effect themed Scout too

Going for a kinda "Covenant" coloration on this one. the perp color is a bit off in this photo

Just a simple brass squirtgun. I really like these for some reason..

All I can tell you is that I work long hours...and I've wanted to paint one since last year :)

Blue Halo-themed Scout with a lot of subtle color changes and whatnots..yes, I want the decal a bit (read: a lot) smaller, but the vinyl is very tough to separate when the pieces are any smaller

Proton and Praxis Obtained!

I hope you all are finding your own Vortex guns at the local stores, I know I'm seeing people posting on Facebook with their "early" finds. I managed to grab a Proton and Praxis after work and have spent part of the evening shooting my walls with little green frizbees :) I took a few photos of them in stock form so no shocking spy photos here, but I figured I better post a few just in case you haven't found better ones already online.

They shoot great and I think they'll make great props. Expect to see them worked into the schedule next week. Let the spring and screw losing being!



So I really like the packaging on the new guns. I expect more from the dart guns now. I do not want to be able to touch the gun before I open the box! :)

The Praxis - the cocking mechanism seems to delay shooting the next round for just a fraction of a second, but maybe I'm just imagining things...still love the gun and it's design. For the price I kinda expected some scope that would compliment the gun. Ah well...just gotta buy the big daddy for that bit of kit :)
Photobucket

The Proton - It's small, but it's awesome in my opinion. using the little side levers to load the disk makes me smile for some weird reason. I'm going to have fun with this one for sure :)

More photos soon - lots of new stuff :)
