Re: Weathered Or Worn Look Guns
Hi again guys!
My most recent paint/warn/weathered job effort on this G36K I purchased late last week from a chap on this forum. When I saw "ohman's" effort early last week on his G36C using the sponge technique I thought I'd like to have a go at that myself!!
The gun came black all over, including the magazine. I sprayed the barrel/flashider and cocking handle in a gun metal grey, but left the rails/selector levers black. Just giving these a light rubbing over with W&D.
I then sprayed the body in a Sand colour as a base coat. Then using some really good sponges I purchased of the bay for a quid each I dabbed on the OD Green first. Some larger thick blotches and then lighter dabs all over. I used same technique with the Mud Brown. Once done I dotted the odd couple of dabs of Sand again in certain areas to highlight. The cocking tube is plastic so I had to paint a weathered look to simulate metal, but the ejection cover was metal so I just rubbed this down.
I purchased a cheap "bullet" type magazine on here, the tabs were missing off one side, so I removed and smoothed down both sides where the tabs would be, so as to simulate a P-Mag type mag once I had taped out a "Window" for painting!! I also did the same on the "bullet" symbols for the selector lever , so you can still see them, which I think looks effective. Once finished spraying I assembled it and gave it a good rub down with W&D on all the right places to look warn/beat up.
I impressed for a first attempt at sponging and a reasonable "Dirty Afghan" look that you see a lot of the German soldiers had. Pictures below. Let me know what you guys think!
Richie.

Re: Weathered Or Worn Look Guns
Thanks Supa_T, it's appreciated. I think the pics are a little small to show the full detail so now I've learned how to put larger ones on here I might do that so you guys can see it better!!
