I heeded all your warnings and now the e-tape is removed.

It sounds like a basic minimized, spring added nf to me.

You do, however, need to read this.

Yea it is covered in e-tape.

[najmodder0424]

If you have any questions about the gun pm me or post it here.

How is that special? Does it effect performance? I am guessing no, so what you did was waste perfectly good etape to do some thing that could have been done with vinyl dye or spray paint. If it was to cover something up, that could have been done with acrylic sheet, polycarbonate., or Plexiglas.

Let me explain again: I liked the look of E-Tape instead of spray paint so thats why I used E-tape instead. When I was dremmeling it really messed with the paintjob and e-tape was a unique way to make a new "paint" job. Plus I can get e-tape virutally for free.

If he likes the e-tape look, who are you to tell him not to do it? Also, it's affect, not effect, and Plexiglas is acrylic sheet. This should have been put in the mod/pj thread, but that doesn't give you the right to tell him how to do his mods.

What a waste of e-tape...

Seriously, why did you post this? It is nothing special. I mean, I really don't think anyone has questions about something so simple. Why did it take you 8 hours?

8 hours in total over the course of many months. This includes all research, testing, painting, and modding time. Also this was my first mod and I wanted to make it good. The actual mod was done long ago but the cosmetics I did recently which took me an hour. The e-tape alo makes for a really comfortable grip.

Oh god, thats going to make a mess.... In under a month you're going to have a blob of black stick goo and your gun will be trashed... My advice, take off the tape or never use it...

Usually you post when you have something creative to show off. It looks as if the only thing creative here is the Electrical tape asthetic. If that is indeed the only thing that differentates it from any other NF mod and you felt you had to share it with the NIC, the place for it woud have been in the mods paintjobs thread.
I think this topic needs to die now though.

Agreed, especially in the heat. The sticky part of the e-tape will melt onto the gun and make it impossible to do repairs on if the gun breaks. Believe me, your guns WILL break and will have to do repairs. Taking the
e-tape off now will save you a lot of time and mess in the future.

Thanks for the backup.

I guess you did a good job in keeping wrinkles out of the tape, but otherwise it looks like crap. I know that sounds harsh but it really looks like you took a nightfinder and stretched black plastic bag over it.

So repaint it. You can get a can of spray paint at walmart for 96 cents. And if you think we have been flaming you, you asked for it. Literally.

Where does the 5k come into play? Is it just to sound cool?

[CROW]

Stop flaming the guy people. Simple as that. It's his gun, and if he wants to use E-Tape to cover it, on one has a right to tell him otherwise. Anyways, its not the most complex of guns, but you presented it well and it is unique. Nice job

[TantumBull]

and Plexiglas is acrylic sheet.

Plexiglass is PETG, not acrylic.

My bad JSB, guess I don't care enough to actually look it up. Sorry, but you are so anal about everything. What you said here is fine, I'm not mad about that. It's just you find some weird pleasure in correcting people about EVERYTHING.

Holy Etape fuckwad batman!



Seriously this took you 8 hours? Please stop referring to your etapeing as painting.

You've given your Nite Finder a gimp suit. Congratulations.

[Accord]

Not bad for a first mod dude. Keep up the good work and maybe your next ones will look cleaner

That made me giggle, I'm gonna have to sig that.

Najmodder, why did you make such a big deal over this nite finder. All you did was hack the front off and E-tape the hell out of it. It took me about two days to make my NF look like this:



If that took you any amount of time over 1 hour then either you're retarded, or you've installed a radio inside of that gun.

I hope you like your gun, because I don't.

Here I was expecting a sm5k... I get some junky nf. I guess if it works that's all that matters to some though.
