Had a crack at painting, dirtying and distressing a gun. Not quite up to @GearTech standards (he shall remain the master ?), but I'm happy with it! Sprayed in Halfords Khaki: Then abused with dark brown washes and attacked with various things: (Need to dust off the paint chippings/sanding)

You’re paying for the ugliness

Quote of the month already !? and it’s only the 2nd ! ??

@Skara - Your fault....

People pay for the ‘magic’. The polished gearbox. The perfect air seal. The fact the gun will hit bang on 350fps.... But seriously, There will be many people who don’t have a clue about how to upgrade a gun or are afraid to do it in case they cock it up. I understand why the market is there. It’s simply coz there is a demand for it. We should never ridicule anyone whose gone down that route. I’m an example. I know my way around a next generation recoil gearbox with my eyes closed. But I can’t solder to save my life (fitting a Gate Titan and doing the soldering in this case). So I asked KoA to work on one well two of my guns as I wanted to see how a professional tech would do it. I’ve got the T-Shirt. Simple as that. Will I sell those guns? Hell no! I’ll never get my investment back. But I know they rock and that’s all that matters. And looks over performance. That’s an easy one. If I can hit a speed softer between the eyes it’s all rock n roll. ?

So my Arp556 build is complete. Msy change the sight for an eotech xps3-2.

A good bit of wear is always nice.

I'd say 'Excellent job on that' And I do like my things worn ?

Looks good and the wear is all in the right places. So often you see weathering jobs and there are scratches and wear where it makes not sense.

Here’s a couple of mine

Unfortunately the airsoft obsession now is to the have the best most powerful gun at 99.999% site limit. Joule creep just allows the idiots and cheats to deliberately break those limits and then claim ignorance if caught. If sites can't police J limits, I'd suggest chrono full auto's on 0.3/0.32 and snipers/dmr on 0.40+. That would negate most of the crazy joule creep builds and improve safety.
