My new mask

[mpsd]

A couple of months ago I decided to assemble some masks for me, just for the fun of it. Today I've got my softears (finally) and assembled this:

My new Cash Money mask:

It has brand new Flex 7 IZE green bottoms, HB 06 White frames, smoke lenses, Soft Ear Mods white/lime green ear protectors and, of course, the Cash Money strap.

Now almost complete, only waiting the Carbon Fiber Ventz that is in the mail:

And the other ones:

This is my old 1997 Flex 7, moded with some CF stickers in the bottom and a woodland camo goggle Skinz in the lens.

And the other very special mask I just got today:

Grey 2002 IZE bottoms, Urban Camo frame, Urban Camo strap, black soft ears, black small visor and smoke lens.

And, of course, the Grilz:

So, how do you like it?

i find it amazing how far JT has come along in terms of their mask design popularity, when it hasnt changed much since back then..

[SkinnyHare]

they have a good thing going. Don't fix it if it aint broke.

I plan on almost the same set up for my lady, green ize bottoms, white frame, mirror lens, white ears, and either the mint green strap I got with the ize or km's irish strap, looks good, and I love getting bounces on ize bottoms, lol

they have tried, and i think they realised their mistake be re releasing f7 series hwen they appeared to be migrating towards the f8 series which doesnt seem to be as popular, and is pretty hard for a tournament style mask.


the new quick change feature is great on the lower end mask, but then they go and ruin it by making it a horridly ugly design.

if you ask me the only weakpoint of the jt system is the changeing of lenses which is tiem consuming and frustrating

lmk how your softearmods hold up... I bought some two weeks ago (orange and purple :) ) and after 2 days of play they started peeling a little bit. I used some really strong glue to glue them back together though, so hopefully they'll last a while :/

Oh, come on drg! More stickers make it faster! (maybe that's cars I'm thinking of...)





MORE STICKERS MEAN MORE BOUNCES!!! :shooting: :dance:

I do like the green/white combo mpsd!

And you could probably see Chronobreak's mask from orbit..........

[mpsd]

Thanks, guys!

DRG, I thought the stickers made it cooler... LOL

I finished assembling the mask yesterday. Of course I'll take them out BEFORE play LOL

:cheers:

just a heads up when you come play in the US, most fields by me dont like the softears. Since it isnt technically certified anymore you arent covered by the field's insurance so if you get injured the field will have to pay out of pocket if you werent adaquetly informed.


This was especially enforced @ waynes world during scenarios. However if you put the softears behind the rubber that is there stock you are legal.

Didn't know that. It's so common to see people using this kind of stuff...

most owners turn a blind eye cause they need the customers. If paintball was played by all the rules it wouldnt played close to what it is played by people who arent first timers. I love playing with rec'ers because most of them respect the rules and follow them

You have got to be kidding me, I sell you a New IZE bottom and this is how you repay me??? stealing my idea! :eek: My cash strap is still in the mail, guess our masks will be reverse twins, all your white parts will be black on mine :headbang:

[Whee McGee]

I'll post some pics up of my recently completed Flex as well. Got a little creative with some spray paint.
Chrono, where did you get the hard bottoms?! I never knew they made them in anything other than black. I want! :wow:

I have a feeling you will appreciate the colors of some of my guns so i threw the mask on them to show it off

I picked up a flex a couple weeks ago... since I got it, I keep getting shot in the side of the head :tard:

reminds me of the first time I took my visor off, I got hit in the forehead 3 times in the same day :tard:

[warbeak2099]

Nice bling lol. I just never liked the Spectra platform because of how retarded it is to take off a lens. V-Force ftw!

Yeah, you are right. I mean, when I started there was nothing but JT (of course there were the old Vents and later the Scott masks but JT was the best, still). In 2005, I got to the same conclusion and bought a Profiler. What happened was that I had problems with sweat coming into my eyues during play, something that never happened with my Flex's. So, as soon as I could, I sold the Profiler and bought those Grills. They are the best I've ever used.

Still, early this year, I started looking at the flexes again and, don't know why, wanted to buy a couple of them for me. Yesterday night I changed the lenses in two of these masks and, to my surprise, wasn't that paintfull. Of course, it takes 10 seconds and no effort to do on the Grilz while it took about three to five minutes to on the JT.

Still, I'll probably keep using the Grilz mostly, speacially in the small tourneys I play, where I always cary a spare lens, just in case.

[warbeak2099]

Yea I'd like to pick up either some Grillz or Vents. Avatars look pretty good.

Like those people who wear the hats with the straight-across-beat-me-up-and-take-my-lunch-money bills and leave the stickers on them?
