A little preview

Ok so I got the 1st proof for the marker back today, and all I can say is holly shit! I won't unveil what the marker looks like till its done but here is a little taste

This is the back part of the barrel and the low pres regulator.

Ok I can give you a little more without giving away the final design.

Obviously the grip and trigger.

Again cant wait to see it.

Thats gonna look friggin ill, add the nemsis grips too

Full preview will be coming soon guys. this was the first proof I got back from them so I am having them tweak it just a little, the parts I showed you guys wont be changed. Once I got the final design and its a go I'll go ahead and post up what it will look like. Then when I get it back I'll post up pics of how it looks on the gun.

Man I am freaken excited to get this back.

Ok so I just approved the final pattern so here it is, the final product. I'll post up a pic of the actual marker when I get it back.

I dedicated my marker to my husky Sasha, who I just lost last year, she has been a part of my life for 14 years from a pup of 8 weeks old and has helped me through some pretty rough times. So I thought this was a fitting tribute to her.



What do you guys think? I can't wait to get it back and see it actually on the marker itself.

I think that is B.A. i like it a lot. Great concept and nice art.

its no longer a marker...its a work of art

Can't wait to see how it turns out, that is a sick design!

That is freakin awesome!

I like it as well. Will the same design be on the other side? If you don't mind me asking who are you going through and how much is it?

The design will be on both sides of the marker. I went through Kohn Sports, I tried going through the guy who did LCT's guns for anno but he never got back with me.

For them you can only do one of two things, a custom pattern and a stock pattern.

Custom - $250, where they do all the artwork, it includes a full gun pattern both sides.
Stock - $150, where you choose from one of their pre-designed patterns which looks like they are all full guns both sides.

For Custom patterns you are the only person who is allowed to get that design, unless you order as a team. So nobody will ever have my pattern on their gun. They send me a copy of the full artwork too in case I want to have a second marker done in the same pattern.

I know some other sites let you send in your own art work and cost depends on how much of the gun you get done, and if you choose a stock pattern or not. For these guys you don't have that option. However you can see that their artist knows what he's doing.

Hope that answered any questions.

Sigh, I have to say that I loved the artwork from Kohn sports, but their customer service sucks ass. They keep giving me deadlines that tings will be done, but then never follow through or communicate with me about where in the process it is. They were supposed to have actually lasered my gun last Friday but I've asked them if it got done and no response, in fact its been that way the whole time. I'm hoping to get it back by next Sat for the game at Blitz.

Waiting is the hardest thing to do.

I know the waiting part sucks butt, and even more so with back customer service.

Have you tried calling them?

Thats my next step, I was hoping to at least get an answer today through e mail but tomorrow I'm gonna just call.

Ok so it turns out that the laser is broke at Kohn right now, of course they couldn't just tell me that without me wringing it out of them, all the while they act as if I was supposed to know this and had no idea why I would be inquiring about my marker.

I shall write a review of Kohn in a separate thread.

Ok so with the disappointing news from dms about the game in May at least I got some good news about my marker, in fact I got a video from them showing my marker being done. Check this out.

that is just sick, kinda makes up for the communication problem!

Almost, I love it but man that was a pain in the ass dealing with them.

Got word, I should have my marker probably by this weekend.

Seems like it is going better with Kohn. Cant wait to see some pictures. Very exciting. Cool vid.

Ok its finally here after 7 and a half weeks WOOOHOOOOOOOO. It looks whiter than it is in real life. Still looks great, just not as white as I was hoping.

Here we go.
