  1. Thought I’d share a few of the camo schemes I’ve messed with. Nothing fancy and far from professional but thought I’d share. Maybe someone may get the nerve to do it on their own. Somewhat of a tree bark imitation trial here. My first ever camo job. Some of you probably remember me posting this years ago. This was done using only black and grey for something different. Nothing special, just wanted some FDE break up. This is the rifle is use for coyote hunting most of the time. A guy at work made some vinyl cutouts he wanted me to try out and this is what I was able to do. Adhesive vinyl would definitely be much cleaner but it works to break up the outline if you’re in a pinch or hurry. I was not happy with the pattern after trying out the stencils so the next picture is how I finished the look Definitely more broken up and “camouflaged”. I want to get it outdoors and see how well it’s hidden in the woods. My mk18! This turned out pretty cool looking. Basically this is brushed with dark earth. I used a thin foam brush, dabbed some little areas of dark earth paint and “smeared” the brush back and forth. It turned somewhat burnt bronze-ish. I liked the look, but it didn’t break up the silhouette as much as I wanted. But as you’ll see in the next picture this outcome worked very good for the base layer color. Here is how the mk18 looked after I applied some FDE and more dark earth. I’m much happier with this. My Rem 700 SPS Tactical in .308. Base layers are Aluma Hyde od green, brushes in fde, dark earth, and finally some small sections of black to finish it off. Very happy with how this one turned out! Edit: Forgot to add my Remington 870 so here it is. Edit Part 2: Adding the Savage 110 Tactical 6.5 Creedmoor pictures. With barrel and scope painted:

  2. I like the floated handguard versions. They kinda remind me of the ppsh.

  4. Yeah, I surely didn’t expect it to turn out that way when I started it. Just though it would be dark brown smears that would need blending to even look good. Really surprised me. I’ll definitely use this method again for background work too.

  5. I understand why you finished your mk18, but agree, the burnt bronze was a cool look.

  7. They will soon enough, Glock is great at releasing things people don’t want first, getting them to buy it, then releasing what they do want so they can buy it all over again LOL (ala Glock 42 then the 43, 19X then the 45). I’m sure we’ll get an all black 43X in the near future (probably g49 or g50!)
