Where are the finished photos sandman? I had to search for this thread to see it and no pic's?

Man I'd like to see the finished product.. That's the sweetest paint job I've ever seen on a gobbler gun!

[Sand Man]

Sorry.  I got busy killing turkeys.  I'll take some tonight when I pull some guns out I'm going to sell.  Hope y'all don't mind blood!  

On edit:  The links are on the second page.  Although, they aren't embedded or that great.  I'll try to take some in the sunlight this afteroon with the DSLR.

[Sand Man]

Not the best photos.  Thunderstorm was rolling in, so no bright sunlight and flash was washing out the photos.  I still suck with this DSLR.  First paint job.  I personally don't like how dark and busy I got the gun.  I think less is more.  Dad wants me to paint his, so I think I'm going to try for the old school treebark pattern with the turkey tracks being bright green.

Here are the pics:

    That is the coolest turkey gun on mother earth.

I'll have to agree, thats probably the best looking painted shotgun I have seen. Looks great Sand man

Thanks.  It was my first, so I'm not 100% satisfied with it.  Learned a lot during the process.  The good news is I have 3 more in the safe to perfect my technique on for my dad and two friends.  Just need to find the time to paint them.

Love it! That's a sick rig.

You could definitely improve on that piece....I'll send you mine here in a couple weeks and you can knock yourself out.

Thanks for the compliments.  I'll try to do a detailed step-by-step on the next one I paint. It's really not that hard.  Just time consuming.

You hold your breathe!     I'd do it for Little C, but I hear he's a deer hunter now!

What a fantastic looking paint scheme!
You did a great job, and should be very proud of how that gun turned out!
