Wow... :wow:

[Tropical Life]

Well your set for MOTM for almost a year....

[C_losjoker]

Love the look of the silver frame the way it is. Is that a airwalk?

[Tropical Life]

yeah the Airwalk v.2 I believe

[knownothingmags]

yes airwalk.

if anyone has airwalk alumn grip panels to donate or for sale im game to take them off your hands

[C_losjoker]

:D
yes airwalk.

are you serious you dont have panels for it. dude you might as well throw that in the trash, or better yet send it to me and i will make sure it get trashed properly. :D

only frame you are missing is a z-grip.

[knownothingmags]

this is a progress thread not a flame thread.

thankyou for looking.

:D

no AGD Y frame either & a few other aftermarket frames
good project guy , a lot of money laid out at one time
Who do you have lined up to do your anno work ?

most likely bazooka. since he has had success annoing x-valves.

[hill160881]

most likely bazooka. since he has had success annoing x-valves.

This is the second time I have herd that name. Any pictures of there work?

Arnolds mettal finishing is the only one I will trust with a x-valve. Because he has done more mags than anyone. I would be curious to see bazooka's work though. They may have a better price as Arnolds is a bit high, all be it very fast and fantastic work.

Good luck with your builds. Will these go up for sale when they are done or are these beauties for you?

[knownothingmags]

his forum name is BAZOOKA boy,
i have pictures he sent me but cant post em up.

he did smoothice's blue acid wash colering. if that helps.

[tbaggin]

Bazooka is :tup:, he will be doing my project mag once it is complete.

[hill160881]

Lighter colors are easier to do on X-valves. The darker colors like dark purple show a small difference between the different aluminum's. Just an FWI when you select the colors.

[leloup]

Yeah, I see a few thousand dollars there.

What I want to know is when all these parts will be up for sale...:D

Very nice collection.

[knownothingmags]

all parts are for sale right now but at full face value of what i paid if not more.

[Shirow]

So what is the purpose of this project - not sure if I missed an earlier post, sorry if I did..

Are you buildings mags for other people? Planning to try to turn a profit? Just wanted to build a bunch of mags?

Cool pics, just curious about the intent.

[knownothingmags]

just building mags. always wanted to now i have the people and recources too.

if i some how turn a profit sure ill sell.

but no i am not making them for anyone specific except myself.

thanks for looking,
knownothingmags.

You can't do that..

Make a Z-Grip 2k9 Micromag

[knownothingmags]

never liked the 2k9 look

^^^^^ :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: ^^^^^

[hill160881]

Those are not dark, while they are awsome pieces of work :hail: , this is what I mean By dark dark. Or is it the sheen that makes the difference? Arnold told me I picked the hardest color to reproduce and one of the hardest patterns he had ever done.
http://i971.photobucket.com/albums/ae195/hill160881/UL%20Ego-mag/100_0861.jpg

A close up of the color. The middle paret of the valve is the 7075 and is slightly darker. It is hardly noticeable in the sunlight.

[knownothingmags]

they all look good

[knownothingmags]

so it looks like i am going to do one mag at a time through bazooka boy,

thing is i need to see if i can get the x-valves re-serialized just for fuctionality and productivity.

tunaman this is where you come into play, if you can help.


thats my update.

thankyou,
knownothingmags.

[OPBN]

Some of these pics show why, besides potentially ruining a perfectly good X valve, that unless you are getting a solid color, I would stay away from doing it. Hill, while I think the overall ano is nice, the fact that the halves of the valve don't line up drives me freaking crazy. I have an X here that was literally given to me, minus some of the internals, that has the same issues. Ano is nice, but the halves don't line up and it kinda looks like crap. It also took Tuna some effort to get it to seal back up properly and function. I know it doesnt seem like it now, but you WILL eventually want/have to sell off some of these and partability is always a plus when trying to get your money back out of it.

[knownothingmags]

so just to understand and simplify what you are saying.

i should get solids done and try not to have many colors put on the x-valves.

is this correct?

thankyou,
knownothingmags.

[Automag ReTro]

I think he's saying that if you choose to get the X valves annoe'd you should go with solid colors for them instead of other designs. You run the risk of the two different aluminum types annoing differently between splashed, acid washes, etc...

Good thing I like gloss black so I don't need to worry about such things.

[OPBN]

I'm saying that IMO, it looks terrible when the valve halves don't line up which seems to happen a lot when a pattern is attempted. Take Hills for example, The lines on the front half of the valve don't line up with the back half, nor do they line up very well with the body. I have a valve that matches the body I posted in your other thread, again, the back half doesnt match the front. Not only is the pattern off, so is the color. I just think it throws the whole thing off. If it were me, I would stick with dark solid colors on the valves, or better yet, leave em alone unless they are heavily scratched.

[hill160881]

They offered me a do over on those parts and I chose not to. My mistake probably, Since the valve was plugged it would not have messed up any tolerances. Nor did I have any trouble reassembling it when it comes to leaks. Took out the bag of parts i took out of it, and it all fit like a glove. This was just a hard request with all the parts and no real layout, another first time mistake on my part.

Ask bazooka if this was a hard anno job, trying to keep the lines strait, even and spaced could not have been easy as well as getting the other parts to lay out. And there were three or four different types of aluminum if I remember right. If I had sent in a single marker pre assembled it may have turned out differently. Instead I sent in a collection of 37 parts, because it would be used in one of a dozen different configurations.

[knownothingmags]

anyone found a purple that is good that i can give to my anodizer bazooka.

i need all colors of purple you guys have come across.
and a green.

i need these to be real sharp, not like a lime color consistancy, but more sharp.

please this is a big help.

thankyou again,
knownothingmags.

Please don't take my post as a criticism, while it's not my taste, it is still an awesome job overall. I was just using yours as an example since I didnt have a picture handy of mine. I took a pic, here is what I am talking about using my valve as an example:

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn308/oldpbnoob/anovalve.jpg

Note how the pattern is different on both halves of the valve,, the body and the rail. Again, this is in no way a criticism of either the previous owner (he gave the valve to me for free) or the anodizer. Just trying to show what can happen when you try to pattern ano a valve.

[C_losjoker]

I kind of agree with OPBN. If you are ever going to sell the markers and you end up parting some of them, which is how most are selling right now. A multi colored x valve will be hard to sell. I am in the same boat, a mag thay needs to be done but not sure if I want to do x valve or rt valve to match. Tho one good thing is I. Probably never getting rid of this one. And if you look around solid color x valves usually sell well and fast. You can always get the x valve done in the most dominate ano color that you are using for that marker.

[OPBN]

Tho one good thing is I. Probably never getting rid of this one.
I always love this line. :rofl:
Not trying to be a dbag, we are all funny this way.

Hahaha yeah I know and that's why I said probably. OPBN also I hate to see you in pain, so you should send that ugly not matching x valve over my way and out your site for good.

[knownothingmags]

thought i would leave an update,

finals are killing me.

so my projects are put on a slow pause.
had to buy a computer. so that took 1500$ outa my pocket.

so anyone that i am dealing with that looks at this post, sorry for the delay on getting to you about my details.

thankyou for all the support guys,

thankyou,
knownothingmags.

[Pneumagger]

You should sell me your airwalk frame. :D

[knownothingmags]

well looks like i am selling the airwalk frame.

[knownothingmags]
