here are the reference pics…
Its actually pretty close…this is a lighter tan colour.
The tamiya paint is named TS-46 Light Sand.
It just needs to be a little darker, overall…
Hence the heavy handedness, with smoke…but that got it dirty looking, not much darker on the base colour.
Oh well, nothings perfect…just accept it…
The other tans are more olive colour based…the sand Evo is not.
you could go ad, trying to colour match it…i’ll just accept it.
Changing to a darker primer such as black instead of grey can sometimes make a big difference depending on the Topcoat paint structure.
Might be worth doing a small sample piece and see if it gives you your desired outcome.
Hmmm have to try that…
I assume repco sells the stuff.?
Side by side, you’ll see the colour difference.
In isolation, you won’t.
Remember too you’re comparing it to a screen image… crank your graphics settings to make the master match the project and it’ll be perfect. 
Reminds me of a mate who came around to our house when colour TV first came in. We were watching our new colour TV and an ad for Panasonic TVs came on. My mate commented that we’d bought the wrong set… the colours looked better on the Panasonic. 
Repco has a sale one rust-oleum Camo colours… $10 a can.
Not sure if it’s still going but I had to click and collect my order.
Yeah, primer can be found in several different colours, including green, yellow, black, white, grey etc.
Repco may have it, if not any Paint Supplies shop should have a bigger variety and even possibly be able to mix a sample pot colour of your own choosing.
Pretty sure I saw flat black primer at Bunning’s the other day.
Yep… I did.
Works fine on plastic… but you’d be spraying it over Tamiya anyway.
To be fair, the first Colour Television was pretty horrific!
Obviously the Advertisement for the Panasonic TV was highly edited for the clearest picture quality available for broadcasted advertisment as possible … even though it was all equally just as bad as each other no matter what the brand!
Remember watching Aunty Jack on ABC when it faded from black and white into full colour, and almost burnt my eyeballs with the massive over saturation of the rainbow!
Rank Arena was our first, oh how I miss the wood paneling 
I remember the days before everyone broadcast in colour, only the odd one or two crappy shows weren’t black and white. The TV guide used to tag the colour transmissions so you could tune in.
FEIP was one… Free Entertainment In Parks. So we’d all be staring at a bunch of old boys in the Salvo band with tubas and trombones playing in a rotunda somewhere.
I’d whinge and ask why we had to sit around watching that shit, and the old man would tell me to shut up and enjoy looking at the green grass and shiny brass instruments.
quick spray up of TS-91.
A lighter green.
Not a lot in it…it is slightly lighter, which is a bit more game accurate.
Still, i like the darker green, it accentuates the shadows.
I’ll paint it all up, decide, and repaint one black…
maybe…
Very minor update, before i resume painting…
Got the red dot riser, for the EVO.
This works well, sitting standard, it was just a bit too low.
You had to hunt around, to find the dot.
Now, its much easier to see, comes into view naturally…particularly with the green stock jobbie.
I mention it because, this design was required for the ABS shell.
The only riser Xforce have , is a QD Lever version.
Right height…but… the lever has a lot of force, on closing.
And, its closing on a ABS shell.
Im sure the high pressure would eventually crack it, on closing.
This design is the 2 side screws on the base.
You can put it on, and gently nip it up to a comfortable tension, without stressing the shell…

postage is slow… 2 weeks to arrive from syd…but it got here in the end…
Woot Woot…!!
Scorpion kit bits, cleared through Syd…!!
Rolling, rolling, rolling…!!
Lets see if they fit, when they arrive…
Woo hoo there you go. Look forward to seeing a couple updates myself if you get time.
The efforts pay off once you trudge through the red tape. 
The tension that lever exerts can be adjusted, don’tcha know?
Just flip the lever open and unwind the screw until you get it as tight as you want it to be.
Might be handy info if you’re ever looking at another QD device. 
About 10NM when your wrist goes click that’s about right.
There is always my 9" angle grinder. That you have to hold on too or break your wrist, set yourself on fire or go spinning through the shop floor with the lockout engaged.
First rule with a 9", let them spool down. Before placing it on the ground and leaving them unattended.
An apprentice effed up one day, just dropped it on the ground with the trigger locked in.
I had to grab him by the overalls, get over ere, get out of the way . I went in and ripped the power cord out to shut it down.
Code brown moment
Took off through the shop floor breaking the world speed record. Was pretty funny
My director came out his office, wtf happening here is the young apprentice alright. Yep he is now 
Just has to go to the toilet.
Well, well, well…
whats the chorus, boy’s n girls’s…??
" It aint gel, if you don’t have to $#%^ with it…!!"
Correct…!!
