View Full Version : I’m Painting Ammo Box’s = Zombie Camo FUN!!
Hey guys,
You guessed it!, it’s me Linkpimp again (with another one of my what did you do now threads) Hahahahaaaa.. This time I’m just screwing around with some ammo box’s.. If your asking yourself (WHY?) then you don't know me do you.. LOL.LOL..
Much like all of my projects this is another first!, I’ve never painted any ammo boxs and you’ve properly never seen a painted ammo box (let alone in Zombie camo) so this should be first for both of us.. LOL…
First off, let me say (looking for an excuse) This is my first project were I went all free hand it was a bitch!!! I need to work (practice) on my pistol’s (big time) LOL.LOL… Overall I think it turned out ok… I think I need to add more smoke (I think?). Hey team!, does the color of the helmet look right?? I’m thinking it really needs to be green? Or something else??. Also can you see the netting on the helmet? Does that look ok?? It was my first netting job, anyway I hope you like it, if not, that’s cool too.. Just please tell me why you don't like it so I can luern from my mistakes..
Thank you for your time gentlemen and have a great weekend..

Added in the pistol (Colt .45 - 1911), spent brass and smoke (I think I need to add more smoke?)

The Second on is a favorite of mine and it really helps me work on my fine line detailing.. IMO

Then I move on to another can and come up with this.. hahahaaa..
http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii195/TDC57/IMG_6122.jpg
Then I put them all together and I come up with this.. Not to shabby, I still have a few hours to of fill and detail but it looking cool… Well better than just green ammo box’s (you can give me that!).. LOL.LOL..

I just need to figure out a way as to NOT piss off the entire Muslim community.. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii195/TDC57/fun%20stuff/anim_rofl2.gif http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii195/TDC57/fun%20stuff/anim_rofl2.gif
You are talented. I'm not one for painting weapons etc. anything that isn't functional however, I could get down on some painted ammo cans. Good job. Look forward to seeing more.
Thanks Man.. I'm glad you like it...
I knew if I kept at it, I would get something right.. Everybody seams the love the idea of a painted ammo can..
GO FOR IT SIR... It's really easy, fun and extremely cheep to do.. It does take a few hours thou but it’s all good..
Have a fun and please post pics of your project when your done..

are you free handing or using a stencil .I see the airbrush.....
I think the OP said all free hand. I remember not too long ago he did a zombie camo on an AR and it looked pretty bad ass too.
I think you got a good idea going here, and eventually you will want to branch off and paint other things you might be able to make a buck on some of these. I wouldnt mind having a few of your ammo cans done up like this. I'd attempt at doing it myself, but like ZDL said, my mastery of art ends at stickmen.
Nice work...I like the tan boxes with just the black outlines. Simple but
effective. Maybe a good label method.
2 skulls = .223
3 skulls = .308
4 skulls = .45
:D
Man the only thing I can draw is flies . I'm downright envious.
Dudes got too much time on his hands...Those are awesome. I do fine painting/touching up with just one color.

The WWII one and the Grim Reaper are freehand, the skulls on fire I used a stencil for the outline only.. I’m trying to wing myself of the stencils at this point..
I'm glad you liked it..
Have a great one

Maybe just two nice painted cans to take to the range for carrying tools/ammo.

Thank you sir I’m glad you like them..
I’m been asking $60 for the ones with the one big color pic and background (whatever picture you want) and the rest of the can will can will have / be in the two dimensional drawings with a standard background.
And or $35.00 for one’s that just done in two colors everywhere.
Plus shipping ;)..
If that works cool.. Please flee free to shot me a pm and we’ll go from there, if not no worries at all.. I’ve actually got tons of guys who want them to and I’ll be painting up a bunch of cans this coming weekend..
And
Yes I’ll be more than happy to paint anything you want (if I can do it) for just a little more coin.
Anyway thank you for your time and have a great one

P.S.
I will be singing and number them on the bottom of the inside of the lid.. You never know.. LOL..

I hope they wouldn’t end up in the safe?. These cans are fun and should be enjoyed by all (I say) I love going to range and unpacking my stuff, The expressions are priceless and it a great way to have conversation with others too.. For what it worth all of the cans come sealed in flat matt finish so it wont exactly scratch easy too..
If and when you ready for one or two then please feel free to shot me a pm and we’ll go from there..
Thank you for your time and regardless if you decide to get one or not, I do appreciate your time and I thank you for the compliment.
