IronJaw: Recon Recolor

Continuing the stream o'aesthetic mods, here's a nicely painted Recon by IronJaw. Thisn' is his first painted an' sold blaster. Its got a really nice muted color scheme, and really, is quite artfully done. The overall feel of the blaster is clean... but at the same time, rugged, which really appeals to my (not at all) inner woodsman.

He says:

"I went for a lighter color combination than Johnson Arms, but his "Halo" theme was a major draw to me. Sadly the colors turned out a LOT lighter than I had anticipated, but it turned out all right in the end."

  Personally, I think it turned out more than all right. 

Rolley: Custom Gear Up! Recon

While this wasn't officially entered, I thought I'd share something neat that I've found as well as a plug for a great blogger, Rolley.  He heads up Street Tag Warfare and has done something similar to my Yellow Longstrike barrel repaint to match his rare Gear Up! Series Recon CS-6.  In fact, I got the initial idea to do that repaint because of his Longstrike Barrel.  Not only is it nice rare proof of this blaster's existence, but it's a neat-yet-simple repaint of one piece that changes the whole look of the blaster.

I pulled these pictures from his Strikefire Review as well as his Gear Up! Recon review.  He's a great photographer and certainly has a knack for aesthetics, which I can appreciate.  That Longstrike Barrel is simple to repaint if you just remove the blue panels and paint them on their own.  These photos are just proof of how much potential it has to make any stock blaster unique.
