stock it is about 1200 or so on a 68/4500. W/ a QEV, you will get about 200 or so more. Somewhere around 1400-1500.

LOL, well if you want a solid red/yellow/blue/black one, you can buy those from SP, but they are solid not translucent... Just kidding, and you probably can't get them from SP until they reduce the BackOrder situation...

I modeled the original body because I am a newbie at all this stuff. I figured it was easier to learn molding, and resin casting based on an existing model until I understood the process. Now that I am getting a feel for it, then I can add "making my own model designs" to the project list.

Actually what I am thinking of doing is making a smooth one for a Make Ur Own Body Kit that could be cut and carved to make whatever you wanted... If you might want one, PM me... Probably charge $35-45 shipped... Keep in mind that this is a stand alone body. It doesn't require destroying your original SP body like the Bondo Method.

Update...

It has been a long 20 days... about 90+ hours pulling my hair out, making NOOBIE mistakes, but making a little progress!



This is a body that was taken from the same FrankensteinBody mold as the red body above.

not quite so Frankensteinish anymore, IMHO...

Of course, I didn't realize how lumpy it was until I sprayed it a solid color either...

But made it to a ready to paint prep'd stage at about 300 minutes total (5 hours). I have put 3 coats of filler primer on it(5 minutes each), and will sand on it some tomorrow plus maybe a little bondo or resin to fill some gaps. So total work time since pulling out of the mold is about 315 minutes...






I still think I am hours ahead of the cut the rubber, sand, bondo, sand, bondo, sand methodology(not to mention this is a completely new body, not the stock one), so this might turn into something useful yet...


I know how touchie some of you newMag guys are about the ION, so I haven't been posting much about it here, but if you are interested, here is my running history thread over on IONowners.com:

If you feel the need, please FLAME ME HERE, or over on PbN (you'll be in good company there... ROFLMAO), and leave the thread at IONowners.com clean...

Peace!

And yes, I still remain loyal to my mini and two emags... 150+ hours total project time on the ION, and still haven't shot a single paintball thru it. LOL ...

[Paintchucker]

Haven't made much progress... well, I have but I keep breaking it and mucking it up... LOL


But playing with the ION is almost as fun as real paintball !!!













MMMMM.... Illuminite Paint... Not quite as cool as the Crystal Paint, but only $12/can
