I’m Painting Ammo Boxes = Zombie Camo FUN!! (From So-Cal)

[linkpimp]

Hey guys,
You guessed it!, it’s me Linkpimp again (with another one of my what did you do now threads) This time I’m just screwing around with some ammo box’s.. If your asking yourself (WHY?) then you don't know me do you.. LOL.LOL..

Much like all of my projects this is another first!, I’ve never painted any ammo boxs and you’ve properly never seen a painted ammo box (let alone in Zombie camo) so this should be first for both of us.. LOL…

First off, let me say (looking for an excuse) This is my first project were I went all free hand it was a *****!!! I need to work (practice) on my pistol’s (big time) LOL.LOL… Overall I think it turned out ok… I think I need to add more smoke (I think?). Hey team!, does the color of the helmet look right?? I’m thinking it really needs to be green? Or something else??. Also can you see the netting on the helmet? Does that look ok?? It was my first netting job, anyway I hope you like it, if not, that’s cool too.. Just please tell me why you don't like it so I can luern from my mistakes..

Thank you for your time gentlemen and have a great weekend..

In the beginning..

All primed up:

Holly POOP.. here goes nothing.. (wish me luck!)..

Working it..

 

[linkpimp]

Detailing in the helmet strap (how cool is that!)..

Adding the helmet detail

Starting the fill…

Added in the pistol (Colt .45 - 1911), spent brass and smoke (I think I need to add more smoke?)

The Second on is a favorite of mine and it really helps me work on my fine line detailing.. IMO

Then I move on to another can and come up with this.. hahahaaa..

 

[linkpimp]

Then I put them all together and I come up with this.. Not to shabby, I still have a few hours to of fill and detail but it looking cool… Well better than just green ammo box’s (you can give me that!).. LOL.LOL..

Let’s not forget about the other sides too.. Tons of hours left but you get the idea of what I’m going for.. Different!..

Once again thank you all for your time and again I thank you all for once again allowing this (weird So-Cal) outsider in with the team..

Thanks guys and have a great Sunday..

P.S…
Please stay tuned or keep an eye out for your next upcoming post.. I’m working on my Salute to the troops and my F-YOU to our current enemies.. I just need to figure out a way as to NOT **** off the entire Muslim community..

I wouldnt do it to a gun either but the cans are sweet!!

Wow. Those cans look amazing! Great job Link.

The first can reminds me of the SOD logo.

Those look great. I wish I had some of your talent. I can barely get drawing a stick figure right.
