Not a VFC newcomer but I like the ad! 
I don`t understand why VFC does such an ad with a TA31 replica. Why didn`t they stick to a (G&P) TA11 and pimp it a little bit? Only the airsoft god knows… 
This it how things should look like! 
P.S. Dear Chinese people, please be so kind and bring us a propper ACOG replica for our M27s!
My last post stated that I`d like to alter my PEQ16 a bit more. Let`s take a look at two pics:
OMG, there has something to be painted on my plastic version! This screwhead/ mounting part/ attachment knob looks so damn metallic! Yeah, wait a sec…
Now my PEQ box looks like this (I had no more gun metal color available, damn!):
The first time I will run through the wood with all this dense vegetation, the colour will be gone in seconds! Hahahaha, I am so stupid!
If so, why did I paint the small detail then? I don`t know but I need a cold beer NOW! Hahahahaha! Cheers! (…a nice soccer game will start on TV in a minute!)
P.S.
If you take a look at the RS photographs, you`ll see that two other screws are not metal looking, more like khaki/tan color! Should I repaint my box then? God bless, there are so many different versions since 2009 (the first time I was happy to see PEQ16s pop up), that I don`t give a s***… (both plastic screws look kinda cool that way, isn`t it?)
Where have I put the new Vodka bottle? I hope it`s already in the freezer!
It`s getting hot here (around 23 degrees!) and I will start softin` in a few weeks. There is always a handful of work to do when it comes to preperations, so I checked my guns, batteries, to do lists, etc.
One of my favourite new impressions will be an USMC grunt, so I decided to go over all unfinished parts and mods, because the weather was fine and I was in the mood to get things rollin`!
One of the things that had to be improved was my PEQ-16 box.
I really like the box itself (which is a typical USMC item for me), but the cheap (plastic) shining look is kinda childish, so I decided to paint it a bit!
First I started to cover up the important parts, details that I like to remain unaltered (incl. removing the blue screw):
I used some medical tape that offers protection and sticks, but can be removed easily (and the fragile paper stickers are 100% intact).
Next, I used some khaki color can (Krylon was gone, used some Begadi TAN one) and applied some nice layer:
With all the glare and ugliness gone, I removed the tape and started to use some oldskool techniques – washing, shading, highlighting, dusting etc. (check the web for miniature plastic scale modelling skills or similar…):
I also thought about adding scratches and marks of heavy usage, but I decided to leave it this way. Why? With my experiences in the past, I know that the box will look like shit (perhaps broken already?) after 2-3 games due to the very ruff terrain where I am playing…
Looking dusty, looking good, isn`t it? Seen in action, soon!
(I already found two things that I will improve/pimp more before doing some impression pix… (a never ending story, hahahahahaa…)
I found my old Atari ST disc and put it in a picture frame.
One of the best games back in the days (1986)!
Besides Doom I, COD4 and Skyrim, DM had the biggest impact on my 3D gaming/video ego-shooting experience! I spent so much time exploring all this carefully created bits`n`pieces, I drew maps and almost saw monsters, traps and potions in my dreams! What a rush…
My airsoft season 2013 is about to start and I see that I am not ready for it yet!
Total mess! Still waiting for a bunch of carpenters to get things done – no end in sight!
Trying to get things organized with some new IKEA boxes…
I have to speed up!
