AirsoftSniper - Tree Bark Camouflage Project - Part 3 - Outer Barrel

in airsoft •  7 years ago 

10 days ago I've started with a fun project to create a Tree Bark Camouflage for my Airsoft Sniper inspired by a video from Snake the Sniper.
I've already modified the Stock and Silencer, so the outer barrel is what's left to do.

If you want to see the previous parts of the project you can check out :

First lets disassemble this thing. For now I only need the outer barrel.

I need to have a marking where the bolt-receiver sits so I don't smear anything on it. I already had one present from assembling and disassembling it so much.

I sanded it down lightly and added the putty mixed with the hardener to the lit. Let's smear it!

I added all the putty to the outer barrel and tried to create a nice structure on it. I left the space where the receiver sits untouched. It just needs to dry now.

After it dried I sanded it down so I can spray it.

First I sprayed it black

And then the brown color.

This is how it currently looks like when putting the 3 parts together.

I think I want to use a little bit darker brown because I think that it shines a bit too much. Mud brown should do the trick.
I also want to use some Olive Green that I think I'm going to apply with a sponge. And as a finishing touch I want to try and add some dried moss to it.

Starting to look really great. It's cool to see all the progress. Hope to see a video of you shooting a target in your ghilly when it's all done!

if you look at the first photo you can see the RIS rail on the scope where I can attach my cam to so when it's all finished I'm going to try and record some stuff. You volunteer for some test-shots?

What can I say, it just looks awesome.

Thanks!

@davidwilliams , it's progressing nicely. What's your opinion about the brown color?

As a former sniper I have one question... why???

For fun of course.
