Paintball

[Hook]

I've seen weathering done on Tippmanns and other milsim markers before and the thought of doing it to my Mag crossed my mind many times.

So today I took the plunge and did it.

Let me know what you think!

I love it. To me a used marker always looks better than a pristine one.

I think part of the reason why I want an SFT Shocker is because the anno is crap and wears down like this.

Mmmmh I like it.

You going to dry brush it with rust colored paint... or maybe add some rust wash stain?

Sorry.. I'm an old plastic model builder at heart.

I'm torn. I loved it before, but it does add a certain character that still draws me.

You should cover it with blood like russc did to his Sniper. It screams "I will bite your head off, digest it, then **** it down your neck hole" to the opposing team.

That is a great idea! I,ll definitely look into that.

I'm still debating if I should add more weathering or not. I like it the way it is, but every time I pick it up, I think 'ohh, this spot could use more weathering'

I love the look.

I "distressed" a Blazer along those lines a few years ago and subsequently my TacOne 'mag.

It's a risk if go to sell it as some folks just consider it "worn" but if it's a shooter and you enjoy it, why not?

Exactly. For me, half the fun of paintball is customizing your gear for looks and performance.

The only time I will sell my mag is if my doctor wants me to quit the sport. Otherwise, it stays with me
