I came across this online and want to do something comparable. Does anyone have any ideas on how to reproduce a finish similar to this?
The closest I could figure is a gray base with strips of tape, then dust opposing sides tan and black and let them overlap. The gray seems to have the most "clean" lines.

My guess is he started dark then used painters tape, incrementally adding just a little tape onto areas to cover them up until finally applying the lightest layer last
That or did lightest layer first and went over it randomly with black and purple, it doesn't seem too complicated |

airbrush and piece of paper Would you (or anyone) care to explain the technique? the pic is dark on this crappy work computer. but, you use a piece of paper as a straight edge, holding the airbrush at an angle will produce a fade effect when I came back in I will find a video |
| Thanks diverman, that would be great and highly appreciated. The more I look at that pattern the more I like it. I am really thinking maybe it is time to spray one of my rifles and since I have an AR-10 parts inventory almost complete, maybe this is the way to go. |
