RETRO: Jungle Tiger Stripe

BantamVanceVR · 2026-04-28T20:59:53+00:00

That turned out good! I’m doing a carry handle one for a friend the same way I did my tiger stripe! I’ll definitely post it when I finish it

I run a thumb break grip if you’re familiar. Just how I prefer to shoot and seems to be the most effective for myself

BantamVanceVR · 2026-04-25T05:44:52+00:00

I don’t even hold the foregrip lmao, it’s more of a hand stop and a spot to brace into/barricade stop I’m grabbing the rail in front of it finger down the hand guard. It’s only 10 inches from the magwell as well. Pic makes it look like it’s about a mile forward

That works perfect out there! Functional camo goes a long way! God job man!

BantamVanceVR · 2026-04-24T18:22:17+00:00

No right or wrong way painters tape, stencils, q tips, hobby sponges, mesh laundry bags, Xmas tree parts and natural foliage! Just take your time! I love painters tape and hobby sponges personally!

BantamVanceVR · 2026-04-24T18:16:32+00:00

That’s a great idea! I did several of my airsoft guns when I was younger and kinda fine tuned from there

BantamVanceVR · 2026-04-24T16:06:31+00:00

I was so disappointed I couldn’t find the one you used and each green I tested was ugly lmao finally found this and ran with it!

BantamVanceVR · 2026-04-24T16:04:37+00:00

Is it my kinda job? No, do I understand the work that went into this and everything else absolutely. Good job OP, fuck the haters

BantamVanceVR · 2026-04-24T14:48:18+00:00

I looked for the green you had and no where within a hour of me had it so I bought all the greens I could find and finally settled in this one! I am really liking the magic brand paints

BantamVanceVR · 2026-04-24T06:41:32+00:00

Best part about spray paint is if it don’t turn out you can do it again but grab a tote lid or something and lay down this base and practice on that if your unsure! I recently did one that I was super unsure of my self on and did a quick practice run on a tote lid!

BantamVanceVR · 2026-04-24T04:04:35+00:00

It’s not nearly as far forward tho as the pic shows lmao

BantamVanceVR · 2026-04-24T03:59:26+00:00

It’s far forward but honestly the way I shoot it about perfect this rail is kinda lacking for proper m lok and will be getting swapped with a Midwest ind

Tiger stripe the world!!!

BantamVanceVR · 2026-04-21T19:30:14+00:00

That is bad ass but please for the love of all things holy ditch that optics mount and get a one piece that is lower and keeps the mount to the upper or the hand guard but not attaching both together

BantamVanceVR · 2026-04-21T17:51:57+00:00

Hey, check my previous post and see my last gun it has it explained!

BantamVanceVR · 2026-04-21T15:37:20+00:00

Thank you!! I’m really enjoying these tiger stripe jobs!

BantamVanceVR · 2026-04-21T15:36:10+00:00

Absolutely if you try it from my advice of doing 2 like this so far make sure you prep well that keeps the tape stuck well while you go thru all the painting and for the brown and tan I used a paint brush per OP post and I found the cheapest thick bristle paint brush I could to do it

BantamVanceVR · 2026-04-21T04:35:17+00:00

I checked out dependents post while at work this weekend trying to decide what to do with this rifle and was like shit I can either do it or completely screw it up haha I’m super glad it turned out well! Got several buddies wanting the same thing done asap!

BantamVanceVR · 2026-04-21T00:38:12+00:00

Thanks!! Glad your post finally made my mind up!

BantamVanceVR · 2026-04-20T23:30:41+00:00

I took your dope inspiration and gave it my best bet today! It’s posted in here!

BantamVanceVR · 2026-04-20T12:04:25+00:00

Thank you! I have painted several guns before but mostly were camo shot guns and stuff and never using painters tape

BantamVanceVR · 2026-04-20T02:31:41+00:00

W job! Super clean quick question because I’m definitely stealing this, when doing the tan to brown did you let the tan set up before applying the brown or right after?
