out!

[gibby]

Oooooooh! Niiiiiice!!!!:D

BTW, how many are out there now anyway?

[ramenjames]

best looking 'MAG bodie ever

much respect for the awesome design:cool:

[Magglerock]

Buy this design, make it standard on the RT and Emag, and watch them fly off the shelves. Oh, and get rid of the site rail and forgrip rails. If mags looked like this out of the box, they'd be the most popular marker on the planet.

[Joni]

I agree. At least skip the rails. It would be cheaper and better looking. (Anyone seen a costumized mag with the rails? They simply look better without)

[AGD]

I am going to sticky this because these things just drip sex.

AGD

[Creative Mayhem]

I actually like the look of sightrails(depending on the layout of color scheme) Obviously not with this body of course :)

I agree that if Tom were to use this or even the Dallara body, that Mag sales could increase. How much of an increase, I don't know.

All I know is that Nicad better have one of dem waitn' for good old Mayhem when he comes to Dallas for Texball :D

LOL!! That's something that I would say myself! Drip sex? Classic! Does this body come with an official AGD towel to clean up after the mess?

[Magglerock]

Hire Nicad, drop the ULE's, and get him to carve a kick-*** body that would come standard on mags. And were are the warp slugs?! Nicad needs to work his magic on one of those!

Tom please...I don't ever want to hear you say that. :eek: :p

[Fred]

Oh, I think I'd definitely scrounge up the cash in the future for a Warp-Karta... or a Warp-Chord V2...

Those look great btw!

I'm scared by what Tom said... :eek:

[cphilip]

Nicad, I'll take one right now as soon as you answer me question in the dealers thread:D

[cphilip]

Come to me my little precious..... :cool:

[paint magnet]

Frausty, if you don't want to wait for a warp version, you could always buy one of Rogue's warp adapters for similar results.

[gibby]

:D
Sweet! Sounds like it's gonna be something else! Definitely show pics once it's complete! I've yet to see a completed Karta Emag/mag. Most I've seen are either unano'd or half complete which doesn't do this body justice!

[cphilip]

Well Gibster.... if you will look at that list you will note that I sent things to Colin that he did not really need to do the body and rail and grip alone. Not all of it would he have needed. The reason I did that was for him to be able to stick it together after anno and get pictures of it. And it will be complete when he has it so I sent the parts for him to use in pictures. I sent everything he would need to get good pictures of a RTP/Karta/Logic marker complete. The first that I know of that will be complete....

So this way you all should see pictures quicker than waiting on it to get back to me and take them. Nicad will take some.

[jayloo]

My X is in the next batch which is due in the next 4 weeks. After I get it ... then I will get my Karta annoed.

[cphilip]

Colin. Don't forget to snap a "before" picture for me. I forgot to lay everything out on a table and get that before I packed it up and shipped.

BTW.... check is enclosed.

[nicad]

Phil- will do!

there are going to be some NICE looking Karta setups coming to life in the next few weeks or so.. keep an eye out for them. Can't wait to start spewing the pics.. :)

out!

[minimag187]

If I owned a mag, I would get one. (emag)

[Chronobreak]

HEY GIBBY i agree most of these kartas are no where near there potential im working on mine and it may be a while but il be sure to post pics of this thing i must ask HOW MANY KARTAS ARE OUT! i ahve number 13 :/ i was just curious where this number satnds in the chain i aso must say the rouge rails look exceptional with the karta bodies thats all

[Magglerock]

This is the most beutiful design to ever grace a mag. Not only does it put the X-mag to shame, but there are few - if any - other markers that can touch it. Tom, make this standard on the Emag. Could the day come when we see custom mags a common option, just like the cocker market? With the karta body and the ELF frame, its a whole new model. Maybe Nicad and Coolhand can team and sell them as a package? Can you imagine a Nicad-shaped neck and Elf frame, allowing an integrated Karta theme over the entire marker? Maybe that should replace the X? That would certainly be worth $1600! It took a a year or two and the genious of the Deadlywind boys to do it, but I think we can safely say that the slug has finally lived-up to its potential. Now if we could only get some warp slugs and slug rails...

[StygShore]

I've got #14 on its way to anno

Hopefully Coolhand wont have too much problem with the E-logic frame. Its sounding like he has a lot of rework to do to get the guts in a frame, and still make it useable.

Somewhere down the line, I would like to get everything anodized with a gloss black to clear/silver fade, but sticking with a combination of gloss and matte black for now.

Whats the progress on the last batch that went out for anodizing Nicad?

I think we need to get on Nicad to come up with a sick forgrip and feed neck to go with these bodies.


Styg

[nicad]

Kartas are currently at #023.
should be close to #030 by Texball.

out!

[Kasper]

Just placed my order, and I'm bummed I didn't get #13 ::grumbles::

What number did I get Nicad?

[PsychoBaller]

HOTTTTTTNEEEEESSSSSSS...... whooo whooooo...

Heh... assuming I'm gonna have to get in the next batch to start on my SFL/Karta ULE Xmag Project.

-baller

[evan123]

How could it be an x-mag with a Karta body. An x-mag is made an x-mag from the body and built in rai;l with ace. If you take that away its an emag.

I am refering to the post above mine.

[danger_crane]

I ask him that everytime I see him. The latest answer was that he was waiting on his red/black fade Xmag to arrive before he sent it in for ano. It could happen later this month.

[jayloo]

Tom was at the AO day this last friday and he stated the next xmag batch is only 4 weeks away from completion. I know for sure mine is one of them. Tom stated the bodies were currently at anno.

I won't send out my only gun to get annoed and not have anything to play with. Besides I am still trying to decide what color/design should I get it annoed.

Maybe I'll let AO decide by vote. Any suggestions .. I like red though.

[Chronobreak]

just a suggestion ide keep it simple but feel free to let me know so i can get in on that batch too ;)

[gibby]

Nice! Let us know how you like the vert frame. :)

[S.S bandit AL]

would a warp ule body fit one W/O haveing to mill or drill any of the rail(karta) of and does anyone ahve pics of one with with it on

[gibby]

Originally posted by S.S bandit AL

It's basically an Emag or RTP rail milled to flow with the body design...I think you'd still need the notch on the rail to fit a ULE Warp body.

[Creative Mayhem]

looking sweet phil... im going to be joining the KARTA OWNER's GROUP soon!!! #10 come to me darling... :D

[S.S bandit AL]

so is there a karta owners group ? and can any design a jewel like the emag one to say Karta E-Mag or just Karta?

[jayloo]

I have #004.

[Joni]

Bandit, I think frymarker makes custom jewels.

[StygShore]

Colin should just get ahold of Heather and have her make a custom jewel for these bodies - he could include them in a little baggie so you dont have to use them if you dont want them.

Styg

[nicad]

I have more updates of Cphils now anodized all pretty. pics sometime soon if i get the time. Also have my own little setup all black.. will be for sale at Texball. lastly, got a Blood red Emag one finished up today. DAM. i need some good sunlight to get decent pics of this bad boy. :)

way ahead of yall on the jewels. I'v been working with Heather on something for the Emag jewel-- heres a pic she sent me this morning of what she has done so far. :p

[cphilip]

WHA!!!! Done and no picture!!!! WHAAAAAAA!!! :D

Hey Heather where is my jewel? You get the T shirt or is it lost in the mail or something? :(

[S.S bandit AL]

[StygShore]

awww... don't see mine in that pile yet.... Does this mean the 2nd batch are back from anno and ready to ship....

Blood red... making me rethink the all black plan.....


Styg


Hey little touch of class, put a jewel on each person's Karta body with their AO name on it :)

[Hail II Him]

niiice

[Chronobreak]

im assuming there would be a karta jewel....and uhm i for one would like to see the first completed karta mag aka cphil's mag but w/e and p.s. im doing a karta/rouge mag burnt orange just letting ya know so no idea stealing...:/

[FutureMagOwner]

hey nicad think you can hook me up with a pair of clear jewels when you get them for my chorded emag? ;) :D

after all it is even more of a "pimp agg gat muppet killer" than that beauty cphil just made (heck i want one of those now as well lol, accualy my friend is looking at an rt pro now that i think about it cphil wanna hook him up? ;) :cool: )

[PabloHoney]

Has Colin Locked himself indoors with no contact to the outside world to work on his next project. has anyone been in contact with him recently, I have been e-mailing him with no response. Let me know. Oh yeah, this body system is pretty sweet.

[cphilip]

I have not heard from him either. I am guessing he went away for the weekend or something maybe. Or maybe he is just overlaoded and swamped or sick or something. I recall him posting he was going to get some picts up when he got time and that was like last thursday night or so. And then Poof! I think someone should check the border. He might be making a run for it! :D

[NGp8ball]

mmmmmmmm karta. all i have to say is WOW! those are damb nice

[S.S bandit AL]

all i want to know is where my karta body is

[nicad]

guys guys! I'v been away at Texball since thursday night. Im still not back yet.. will be resumeing tomorrow (tuesday) someime after I get into Houston.
Except for Cphils, everyones bodies that are ready have been shipped out or they are waiting to get bak from anodizing.. and then shipped out.

Im still here.. somewhere. I think. :)

out!

[PabloHoney]

Nicad, there were rumors that you got stranded in Mexico or something. I guess you can disregard all the hate mail i've been sending you:) Hope Texball was fun.

Paul L.

[StygShore]

any chance in hell my stuff will be her by Satuday this week?

I'm supposed to play Atomix on Sunday, and I'm thinking I might get tore up a bit trying to use my pump :)

Styg

[cphilip]

Except for cphil's? Where are your priorities Nicad!!!!! :D

[nicad]

OK all im back and settled in from Texball. :)
you may be wondering.. "Wait, dont you live in Texas, yet you had to travel a decent ways to get to a 'TEXball' event and back?"
well, yes.. but those that ask that probably dont comprehend the size of Texas. :)

but good news is, lots of Kartas as well as some Dallaras are back from the anodizers (as of yesterday or day before) and I'll be getting them shipped out tomorrow. yeehaw..

out for now!

*edit*
