It only takes one great pic to inspire a great build. John’s build was already great, as was his paint job. But after he saw the pic above, he knew a refresh was in order.
It’s authentic, it’s simple and it works. Diagonal stripes really serve to break up the outline of a gun.
First, Nitromors to strip the old paint.
Base coat of Humbrol Desert Tan.
Broad diagonal stripes of Halfords Camo Brown.
Humbrol Camo Green.
An all over dusting, using the original colour – Humbrol Desert Tan – to tie it all together. Next, weathering.
Finished.
