it's ok i wouldn't call it "great" the collours are way of from cadpat as well the patern is off as well it also looks rushed and purly thought out and badly planned. i'd say not even a 10th as effective as CADPAT at consealment because the colours don't belend

the purpose of digital camo is for the colours to blend and look layered as branches would look you might see the lighter colloyrs in a mostly bare rock with moss growing on it but that bright green throws that off

in conclusion It's not CADPAT it's a crappy digital paint job no offence

well, what can i say i,m a loser.WTF wrong with you, big words to hard to spell?
I get that you dont think the paint job was all that good, but how about some advice to improve it.
Or maybe i should give you some......

Simon, if you need pics of the different patterns/colors/etc, or pcs of what the guns would look like just drop me a PM.

I have saved LOTS of reference material and actual uniform samples from my paint days.....

It's easy to sit back and criticize not knowing how time consuming and difficult it is to do Digital camo work.:confused: It took me a few stocks to get the pattern/colors the way I thought looked right.

Before some of you rag on Simon for his paint job, lets see you do one and see what the results look like.:rolleyes: ;)

I spent 20+ hours alone cutting my templates (since I was one of the first to do digital there were none of these commercial stick-on stencils available) plus hours experimenting mixing different shades of paint.

Plus digital camo takes more time to pain then regular type camo. so I know how much effort Simon put into this project................and people wonder why I retired......:rolleyes: ;)

Maybe one day when my kids get older and I have more time I'll make a return...............

Simon:

While it's not CadPat but DigiCam, you did good son.

Keep up the work and take your time and don't rush and take some advice from the Skullerator.

AlderTK: I'll say it, F**K OFF! If you can't say something nice STFU.
 
AlderTK, here's my CADPAT Night Ops. Feel free to flame away. I'm such a dork I did the pattern on masking tape and cut it out. :runaway:
Picture0502.jpg

Nice job BBB. I know first hand what a PITA it is to lay out the pattern. I'm half thinking about doing my same pattern (or as close as I can get) on my 14" 870 that I got from The Fat Man Who Shall Not Be Named (though I think it was actually yours before).:D
 
I never said the effort was miss guided the pattern? technique it's self could Easley be improved I have a pic of cad pat some where if I knew where my pants were and if I had a digital camera I’d show the difference

I have contemplated doing came painting on my air rifle for practise but haven't had the time

1 as I said there is no blending of the colours in cad pat the colours at a distance will blend in with each other because there are no defined edges the colors are mixed up similar to how static on the TV looks I have Military Morons did a paint job which I plan once I get a fire arm and a few bucks to spend on test pieces from the dollar store (cheap toy guns are great for this) to plan and practise

Plan it out more next time I haven't even attempted any thing yet because I am still not finished templates

a way to get colours right is to match them to ones in other came patterns if one colour doesn't work for your area then change it it's up to you I have a few links I could dig up for you BBB that I have used to plan for when I came my air gun after practising with cheap paints on dollar store toy guns

here is an image of cad pat I found as you can see each main patch has smaller patches which at a distance look blend it like needles and leafs and other foliage would which is where digital patterns get there effectiveness from giving it depth as military camouflages are designed to do

little specs of color are what do this

Shoot didn't work any one know where i could up load it or could some one do so for me?

i say what I mean and mean what I say the patern looks bad to me it holds some of the ideas but is missing a fair bit of detale if you layed this in the bush at a proper location (meaning not in the city and in a safe area to do so) and stood a 20 feet it would stick out cause of it's hard edges

I think i will work on the gun a bit more after looking at your pics.
the light green does need work, and i think i,m missing soe mdark brown for sure.
Not bad for a 1st try.

Simon, the original 1st Gen. TW CADPAT had the Dark brown in it.After that the CF had pink added to the brown to make it redder/pinker. Testors Military Brown is REALLY close to new CADPAT brown.

The Light green I used is Testors Zinc Chromate.It is pretty close to the CF light green.I did mix some up, but you have to mix up enough to do the entire firearm, or you will notice the different shades if you mix as you go.The Zinc Chromate is easy to find and easier than mixing up the color.

Some colors I still had to custom mix Like for USMC MARPAT), but If I found a paint that was REALLY close, I would just use that.

PM me your mailing address.I will send you some Cordura TW CADPAT samples and some AR CADPAT material samples.have the actual uniforms of CADPAT gear helps determining the true colors.

SKBY.
 
one thing i will say is that the painting looks well done as to the ablication of paint the reason i mention using toy guns to test a paturn/technique out is that it costs 1$ where as fire arms cost 100s of $s

dollaramma has a number of things you can use to practise on from toy pistols to cheap rifles

another place is sandeigo which is in most major malls Least in ontario now have M4 air soft guns for like 55$ including tax which would be a great way to practise painting with out actualy painting a fire arm plus is a good enh i'm board and don't want to drive to the range that you can safly use in a fenced in back yard with proper privacy fencing and a simple tarp will be an adiqute back stop if you don't have any thing better also available at dollaramma

the thing i need is time to practise and the money to do so when i get around to it i'll post a few pics i plan to do my crosman soon cause it looks cappy with a silver scope and black plastic

Mr. AlderTK:

That is quite a statement you made there. I don't recall seeing any of your work. Would you be so kind and show us all some examples. I would really like to compare your self-proclaimed superior technique and end result to Simmons.

Simmon put forth a tremendious effort here, both in time and money spent, yet you feel free to critize, are not constructive, nore offer us anything to compare it to.

Regardless of what you think, one needs to respect the effort.

I look forward to seeing examples of your work in a seperate thread.

Regards and all the best

Given that he can't legally possess a firearm right now you might be waiting a while...

Go pout in the corner and stop crapping on the work of others...
:rolleyes:

And the guns all look great guys! If you run low on space in your safe I may have a solution.... :D

Coldone: Thank you for the heads up.

So what we have here, besides a failure to communicate civilly, is a 'Tweener spouting off, getting us all riled up for nothing. God, what an utter waste of time. Trying to talk sense to a ‘Tweener

I said it before and will say it again, BBB, Skullorator, and BUM, all good work.

RANT ON!! (steps on to soap box and clears throat)

As my father who taught me well, the only people who do not learn through trial and error, are those who do not do anything. As such AlderTK, it would appear you fit into the “have done nothing, and therefore have not life experience to share” category

I truly hope that in the end you prove me incorrect, however until that happens perhaps you would be so kind and keep your unconstructive, unfounded comments to yourself, and enlighten the rest of us mere mortals when you have actually gotten off your skin, scrawny prepubescent arse, and actually done something worth veiwing, or better yet, chat with us when you have painted a real gun.

RANT OFF! (Steps off soap box)

Darn, that can be exhausting, Im going for a glass of wine, any one else want to join me??

Regards and all the best

Hmmm I have a replica I could paint up i'll see if I can pick up some paints and see if I can get some hand guard covers because it has a cheap hand guard i'll stand by what I said i'll do it this weekend

I’m sorry if it bothers that I have just got my life in order in the past few months where my life is stable enough and my anti mother finally giving up her crusade against shooting since I was born bothers you

How ever if my goal was to raise hell I wouldn't be here I honestly don't think the pattern was that good the mans work as a painter is good the pattern isn't

I know how hard it is to do digi cause I tried to make stencils didn't even get that far to paint my air gun (liberal mother best I was allowed until this year) but got tired of it any ways if you want me to give it a shot and see what I can do then sure i'll give it a shot I like challenges like I said I have a 1x1 scale replica i'll paint it up it will be good practice for later on

Well, maybe next time you'll find a way to say something without pissing everyone off. We are a good crew here, but you came across pretty abrasive. Don't expect respect from others if you are disrespectful. You have made your amends - let it go.
 
i'm gonna try and do it any ways as soon as i find the colour paints i want looks like an interesting project and i plan to paint my fire arms so they are more personal i should have my pal by the end of this month or atleast thats when the estimated time it should take for the paper work to be processed it's been a long road since i first wanted to get into shooting like when i was 12

if it wouldn't be to much trouble would it be possable to get that info as well?

BBB you can likly make a major improvment in the effectiveness of your paint job if you make a up 2 stencisl with varring sized specs to break up the lines a bit just work with a small area for this no more then a 1x2 inch area so you can blend it

ok posted something then gave it a try not gonna work cause it was why off in sizes i'll repst it when i figure it out just print out a bunch of digi cam images and cut out bits you like from them and the use it as a template would be the easyest way easy then my other idea
