Even though I hate it, but the spam on TH-cam is incredible and forces me to manually check every comment. You'd think a small channel like this would be spared, you don't win free stuff here in the comments and crypto sucks >:(
Man, these look spectacular. I wouldn't worry too much about the clear coat gloss, real mags also have that slight bit of gloss to them.
Thank you man and yeah, also there are so many different variations, hard to go wrong haha
It´s here the bakelite god has blessed us !!!
Haha hope you like it!
For those wondering what paints he's using as best I can tell the colour codes are:
RAL 2003 pastel orange
RAL 2009 traffic orange
Hope that helps someone out there
Bro it was amazing, more good looking than the original.
Try it on a 45 rounder 5.45 mag, that will look even gorgeous.👌
Geez... all the work, but damn worth it! 🔥
Thank you brother!
Looks good! Made me panic run to check if my bake mags were real
Lmao if you send them to me I’ll inspect them for free and I’ll even pay for shipping 😂
Hi again. You know what you are talking about, and you are a very good comunicater too!! You should be on TVs. Teaching us on this subject, and maybe other things. And defending airsoft players, replica collectors, etc. (Funny thing this story of The baquelite is not in many cases, baquelite... I read decades ago on a Spanish guns magazine that the "plastic" parts of the MP-40 were made of phenolic resin and paper paste molded in high temperatures... 😮. And as far as I know baquelite did appeared only after W. W. 2.)
good job bro and nice idea with the markings :D
Wow that looks very good. I don’t like the woodstain version too. But I will definitely try this
Dude, I kept waiting for you to smash a watermelon.
Nice work.
That’s very impressive.
Thank you man
This is amazing but where do I get spirit powders lol?
do you have a tutorial for plum mags too?
Hey max, i was looking to paint a plastic 74 pistol grip to look like bakelite, does this process also apply to it?
Great result! One of the best fakelites I've seen so far. I may try it out myself.
Did you ever try experimenting with pigmenting the resin instead of using the spirit stain? It seems like something minor to point out, but it may make the texture match the ripples of colour a bit more. Maybe the resin will self-level/spread too much for that though.
Great tutorial and method! What kind of specific wood spirit stain would you recommend? something ike Walnut? Im definitely doing this with some big RPK-74 magazines
Thank you man, well I went for orange, red cherry tree, black and mahogany. Try to keep the colors in a redish, brown color. Then experiment with mixing until you have somting you like.
@@MadAKMax Am I right in thinking that the stains/pigments are specifiically Alcohol Soluble ones? know anywhere good to get them? Thanks
Exactly, this is always difficult to answer, because I am central EU based. I bought mine directly of ebay.
I like the bosnian steel AK mags.
Thx mate
Looks good
I've never tried this before. would it work using normal wood finish instead of the spirit stuff?
That is the most common method, which I don't like tho, because it always lacks depth and looks dull!
Hey is it possible to share a link to the powders, can’t find any anywhere, I’m looking to try this myself
what fine colored-powder did u use?
Tried to look up spirit powders, got powders for contacting spirits
What magazines did you use for this tutorial?
I would easily drop $50 on one of these mags
Can you do a green version of us I am trying to makes for myself thanks
Did you notice any fitment issues because of the added thickness to the feeding lip area that inserts into the firearm?
slightly yes, you might have to sand a little after. I just forced the mags into the gun 2-3 times, to scrape off the excess material.
What brand spirt stain do you use?
What was the stain you've been using?
How much would you charge to do a 7.62X39 mag
Did you say you're working on Grozas?
Yessir
Would high gloss clear coat not work beneath the epoxy resin coat?
It looks great but now I’m stuck debating is it worth buying just one bake for 100$ or making one for about 50$
Do you sell them ?
Could you imagine living in California at this time?😂😢
Neutered guns and neutered men turning into women.
The mags came out good but they look a little too glossy. I would suggest using a semi gloss protectant.
Can you send me a 3D file for those stamps? Great video
Your epoxy layer needs to be sanded smooth.
0:42 Nah mate, the 20 years wasted against some goat farmers in sandals and then give them new toys For free was hilarious
Nice tutorial but can you share what colors the pigments had you used for the alcohol based stain, it is really the key thing to know and without that info sadly not much of a tutorial.
Orange, red cherry, black, mahogany
@@thesnake2620any idea of the brand?
paint?
