The Trigger

[Maghog]

We're getting closer to a full portfolio of pictures....just fixing up a few things.
In the meantime I'd like to make a special post.
This trigger is appropriately named 'flames' and I would like to dedicate it to all of the people who went out of their way to insult me in years past. I had to put up with a lot of it. If I would have listened to such people, this gun would never have happened.
I would also like to take the moment to thank all of those who have supported me and have been involved in this journey.
So here it is, 18 karat golden flames sprawling across sterling silver fangs.
Enjoy,
Dan@Triggernomics

[FreakBaller12]

absoulutely amazing. and you do all that by hand?

[Onryou]

i'm gonna be honest with you. I don't exactly like the skeletal look of the marker but i must humbly bow before the awesomeness that is that trigger.

[Fred]

EGADS!

That's too cool!

Where's the pics of the rest of it!?!?!?

OMG that might be the greatest trigger i have ever seen cept for the hair trigger. major props for that :headbang:

[funkmunky56]

whatever. "I don't like the..." blah blah blah.

it's frickin amazing. the man has the hands of a surgeon, and the patience of a saint. his work is beautiful ART, which just HAPPENS to be functional machinery of DEATH. mwahahahaaa

Dan, I look up to you a LOT. Keep it up, bro. And enough TEASING!!! show us the whole thing, so that we may drool all over the fronts of our jerseys, and dream of someday being within 10 feet of one of your masterpieces.

:dance: :dance:

[Temo Vryce]

WIth a trigger like that, anyone who owned a classic hot rod with the flames paint job would be proud to have that display with thier car. Dan you have once again out done yourself and it's good to see that you're still doing this kind of work.

[WenULiVeUdiE]

I knew you could do crazy things with metal, but not this crazy! That's amazing, I love it!

[AGD]

Can you say "Leonardo da Vinci"?? Master Artist AND Mechanic!!!

BRAVO!! Glad I own your work, I bet this new gun blows everyone out of the water.

[i_baked_cookies]

coming from TK himself! amazing!


oh yea, if your getting compliments from the master himself, you are pretty damn good

[252]

Nice.

[The Frymarker]

I'm proud to own some little masterpieces of Dan's myself!!!! And I'm not giving mine up :D

Dan that is absolutely amazing, the detail is exquisite. :clap:


And yes Dan, you are definitely someone to look up to, as I do!!!

You the man!

I can just about make out who is standing there taking the pic in the trigger.....who is it?

P.S. Can I put the pics of that and the others on my site????

[evan123]

Nice work, but i just think its too busy and the gold due to its softness wouldn't hold up very well at all in playing conditions.

[Caffiend]

thank god today is laundry day cause I need some new DCU's

[jwalker87]

eh, it isnt designed for playing conditions. He took a 'cocker and took away every single ounce of non-essential metal. That's amazing. Dan you are my god

[penguinpunk555]

niceness...

[Irelandunfree]

WOW :eek: Great job man, could we say that this is the most expensive trigger in the world? 18k and silver, great combo :headbang:

[Muzikman]

Nice work, but i just think its too busy and the gold due to its softness wouldn't hold up very well at all in playing conditions.

This was not designed as an operational gun, although all the parts are there and in theory it would work. It was designed to be art.

There is another thread of the entire gun from a few days ago. It's damn hot.

[xmetal2001]

Holy Crap. That trigger is...amazing :eek:

[Bad_Dog]

:wow: :eek: :wow:

:hail: :hail:

No words are worthy enough to be used in describing the shear magnatude of amazing that is encompassed in that creation.

I'm goin' back up for another look.

[riooso]

Timeless unique creation! You should be proud.

[tippmannsniper-]

so your the maker of the gun thats my backround very impessive

just one question does it accualy work?

[Digits]

i have to admit, its not my style lol.. But anyone that said that wasn't some of the best metal work they've scene would be lieing out of there ***.. Props to you

[1ofkind]

You defiently deserve some more reconnection for that. I never saw so much detail, keep working hard at it.

[ß?µ£ §mµ®ƒ]

i give it a nomination for gun of the year

[Bobbyboy]

my reaction: Shock and Awe

That is freakin fantastic ive never seen a trigger or gun so amazing your are truly an artist of the highest caliber. :hail:

[BobTheCow]

In-freaking-sane... I didn't read all the reactions so far, but you deserve praise. :hail: Excellent, excellent, EXCELLENT work!!!!!!!!

[SpecialBlend2786]

lol the gun is my backround as well! LOVE the trigger :headbang:

[FooTemps]

:wow: :clap: :hail: :headbang: :cheers:

I think that makes sense... man, you're the man... lets have a beer sometime, i'll treat. (that's when I get old enough)

[breg]

That looks more alonge the line of a Gigeresque sculpture than a functional paintmarker. Very nice! However, I can only imagine what a pain in the butt it would be to clean it if it took a hit...

You'd be worried about more than just cleaning it.

[da-spaz]

probably already been asked, but is there a "walkable" trigger for the minimag? :confused:

[gc82000]

dude that is so nice but I want to see the whole gun. Can some one show me the thread?

[The Frymarker]

I printed it out it's on my wall, probably the closest I'll get to touching it :D

[Maghog]

Don't be so sure Heather, when I bring this thing over stateside, I might just stop in Rhode Island on my way up to Maine. I've got a little more "finishing up" I need you to do on the Dali Cocker. I'll be getting in touch with you about that.

I thank you all very very much for your comments. They have been slightly overwhelming to absorb, but most important, they made me laugh with delight. I do apologize for all the soiled trousers out there, I hadn't anticipated that.

I want to thank Tom Kaye for letting me use his forum for this and even being kind enough to stick the post up at the top. I'm honored. I'll be getting in touch with you soon Tom, we have to talk about the next gun.

Finally, Heather, and everybody else for that matter, these pictures and all those to come are for all of you to do with as you please. Backgrounds, websites, wall paper, toilet paper, posters, stickers and so on. This stuff is all here purely for everyone to enjoy.
The best pictures are yet to come!
Dan

[The Frymarker]

Oh I would be so honored Dan!!!!!!! Wow to see it in person :D

Yes, what ever you need done on the Dali cocker no problem!!! I will definitely put this up on my site. I'll make a little place for you on my site, since I have other treasures of yours waiting to be installed on the themed markers.

If you have the time to send me some high res photos, I'll print all them out and get frames for them.

:hail:

[OysterBoy]

Absolutely beautiful, it truly belongs in an art museum. Dan, you are so dedicated to paintball that you spend so much time and effort on it.. I shudder just thinking about how much blood, sweat and tears must have gone into creating it. There is so much about that cocker that I love. One thing that immediately comes to mind is the apreciation we have for it. Speedballer or Recballer, everyone I've shown that to loved it. It doesnt remind us of all the legal BS going on, it all fades away when I look at it. I may seem to be over reacting but as an (aspiring) artist I can't think of anything better. Such a perfect blend of paintball and beauty.. Ok I better stop now. Dan, you are my idol. Plain and simple. :cry: :headbang: :hail:

[Will Wood]

Hey Dan, you're going to by stoping by at Rogue with this right? Are you going to let us all drool over it? :D I'll have to come down from UMO and visit..And I'll get to check out Kirt's new court too.

[tony3]

Simply amazing, that is better then any painting I've ever seen.

[lawman1380]

It's like west coast choppers gone paintball. Now you need to stick an eblade board in there.

[gc82000]

Dude what are you saying put on a Eblade. why it is unnecesary. I wonder how much it ways though?
