  1. To be honest, looking through this thread, the thing I'm most jealous of is the vast variety of custom stuff available for 1911s.

     

    FFor me, it's a shame that some of the airsoft manufacturers don't devote more of their time to making some of the stuff that people want for alternative guns instead of simply creating more and more "pimp" parts for 1911s.

     

    Don't get me wrong, as bits of engineering some of the pic's on here are marvellous. I couldn't give two sh1ts for a real-steel HRT (or whatever) but, looking at a full-metal airsoft version, it's easy to see that some of you guys have put in a lot of work and had to order a lot of parts from all over the place.

     

    I dunno. To me the 1911 will always just be a "grunts gun". It's like the Ford Escort of guns.

     

    Yes, I am jealous btw. I just wish WA or somebody would devote one production line to knocking out a metal slide for my TM Mk23 instead of yet another bl00dy 1911 slide which, to me, looks much the same as any other. ;)

  2. That's a P90TR. The stock is a kinda grey colour.

     

    Basically, I took a bunch of pictures of the gun and the black receiver kept on coming out as a black blob.

    I then tried bunging darker and darker elements into the background (hence the black vest etc) until I fooled the flash into lighting the receiver properly. The colour of the stock is just a result of the receiver being lit so it isn't a black blob on my monitor.

    Incidentally, I bunged the watch in purely as a highlight. I wanted to see how much it'd burn the image.

     

    If you compare the colour of the G19 frame (black) to the colour of the P90 stock, there isn't that much tonal difference. This is the sort of thing which confuzles me. The pic looks ok to me but I dunno how it looks to other people. Doh!

  3. Quick pic of my P90:

    A couple of things...

     

    Can anybody tell me if that pic looks particulary dark or bright?

    I ask cos I suspect my monitor of gfx card produces a slightly dark picture. On most games I have to wind the gamma setting up a bit before I can see stuff properly. I also find that some of the gun pic's on here just look dark to me.

    If that pic looks OK then I know I'm somewhere near.

     

    Incidentally, related to this, anybody know where I might be able to download a half-decent (and free) gamma and colour correction tool from the interweb?

     

    Lastly, can somebody give me a quick rundown of how to post thumbnails which link to full-sized pic's rather than simply posting the pic itself?

  4. Would it be possible to have a feature whereby an entire thread could be downloaded to a users PC as either a .html or .txt file at the click of a button?

     

    It seems, to me, that there are often threads which are interesting but too long to read in one go, or contain information which is handy for reference.

     

    I know it's possible to save pages manually as .html files but it requires for the user to go through page by page to do the job tidily.

  5. Wrong sig, 552s dont have burst fire, TM realized it killed the gun and removed it.

     

    I'm not that daft.

    * checks TM catalogue.

     

    Ahhh....

     

    I thought it was the 550 they killed and they left the 551 alone.

     

    Turns out the 552 is a whole new gun. Well, whaddayaknow! I really should learn to read japanese. :D
