What I did on my Vacation, butchered a tippmann

[Wheelman]

Dug out the files and went to work, I had just planned on taking off the rear sight, after that is when things got a little nutty. I ended up taking doun the sight rail and exposing the hammer rod (then I painted it gold) gave it a cool little ramping look. then I painted the body red to black fade the paint isn't perfect if you're really looking but looks good from farther away than 2 or 3 feet.


P.S. May be willing to trade for a bone stock mag

Thats awesome, now that I think about it, I have a tippmann body and pieces somewhere in my room, maybe I should bring it back to life.

lol we make my friends tippy as ghetto as all possible

1. took grips off
2. elbow duct taped on
3. glued nails to the top of it while he was out of town to make it look all goth ghetto
4. wrote words with glue

These pics sure as hell don't do it justice

holy crap.... nice work dude.

[JoshK]

thats some nice work with the rail...i never really like the stock rail...it does its purpose i guess...but it looks plain...like the rest of the body...but what you did made it look very stylish...the fade is nice...but you said you painted something gold? i cant see it.

Very nice! Good work.

[DiSoRdeR]

Thats cool how you exposing the hammer rod, does it affect anything?

[player4]

Nice, painted with what though?

[Wheelman]

Haven't had a chance to air it up yet but it dry cycles just fine, painted it with automotive paint

[stop whining buy a mag]

[Wheelman]

why? its a tippmann... :confused:

it's a tippmann, WHY NOT??

[AGDlover]

veary nice dude you should try and work on the rest of the body

[Wheelman]

Thought about it, each tippmann I own I go a little more into. maybe for the next one who knows. Where I was using a file instead a dremel (where's the fun in that) it was rather time consuming, I think I put like 10 hours into just the top.

I hope you used a dremel....

[Wheelman]

I hope you used a dremel....


I was using a file instead a dremel

The only part I used a dremel on was cutting the main fins off the rear sight and wound up bending the cutting wheel chuck all to hell (when the say it is for a certain RPM range they mean it) I like the precise cuts I get using the file, dremel seem cheap and sloppy to me.

Definately one of the nicest looking Tippmanns I have ever seen...and one of the nicest paint/ano jobs I have seen on any marker. :wow:
