Post subject:  Pulse Rifle Paint Ideas?
Hi guys and girls, i have recently purchased a snow wolf M41A and I'm looking to paint it up however I'm looking for suggestions as to what I should put on it in order to personalise it; at the moment I'm toying with the idea of either a military pinup girl on the magwell or Red Japanese lettering similar to the back of hicks's armour but I would love to hear anyone's suggestions :D

thanks.

hi sixstring, I got one a couple of weeks ago and gave it a repaint but havn't done any custom graphics just a bit of light weathering . stripped it two coats of aluminium spray then black on the launcher and thompson & stock . what colour you gonna use on shrouds , I hunted around and finally went for krylon chocolate brown

Personalising your weapon is a very personal thing, surprisingly... Same for armour.
I could give you plenty of ideas, but they'd be meaningless unless they came from you.

I painted up wildeone's PR with a Metalocalypse reference. My old one had "point AWAY from face" on it. I've not not got round to thinking up something for my current one.

Its all down to personal preference =]

i have only lightly weathered mine , still at the ' I want it looking shiny stage' no doubt things will change . Is it normal to fish your pulsey down in the evening when the kids have gone to bed and periodically smile at it while your watching tv

Fish it down???

If that is anything like jumping over the couch and saying pew pew pew, then yes that is normal. ;)

I decided to go with a greeny brown colour similar to the original athough chocolate brown sounds pretty nice :wink:

So this is what I've go to work with now that it's been painted. i tried the Japanese lettering idea and it didnt work very well so i have no idea what to do next. how do you guys go about putting details on yours? is there any specific process or method you use e.g. stencils, transfers or just freehand painting?

(sorry about the size of the images I have no idea how to shrink or rotate them)

Looks great mate :)

I personally did my customising freehand, I figure a grunt in the middle of space wouldn't have access to anything overly arty:

I got one of the twotones from ActionHobbies, the green ones were sold out (and they knocked £40 more off the price for the non-RIF, IIRC), I was planning on painting it black with W-Y logos on the side without the counter. Thought I could save any real custom stuff for when do my build.

Getting ideas are fine, but I would suggest you do NOT copy anyone's else's grafitti.

I know I wouldn't be too impressed if someone copied mine.
