FELIX TACTIK - POOL - Custom BDU and camos

THE CAT · February 2nd, 2007, 13:42

Well, I'm not here to judge if people will get my gears for a "cool" look or for practical uses. This is part of Airsoft. As for myself, this fact is part of the marketing strat.

For the prices, I've answered that question. I cannot give any figures for now. But obviously, the cost will be higher that a regular, of the shelf, BDU or CIRAS. Remember that I'm not doing mass-market. Here, it's more like a winery. Small batch of high quality product.

I always try to reduce cost of production, finding the best fabrics at lower cost and so on. But the process of printing complex patterns ain't cheap and I'm not aiming at entry level BDU or gears, this market slice is saturated.

Just make sure you post when the decision has been made and the site is back up... I wouldnt mind getting my hands on any one of those patternns for some good gear

Fair enough. I'm not judging anyone, for the record, I just put substance before style for the most part. However if the two can be combined successfully, you're golden.

I can provide a few more pics of various Manitoba seasons for comparison if you'd like, Walter.

I'm with you on that Gryphon, and I think I got that "Balanced". For the pictures, just wait. I'm a bit overcrowded here!

LUTNIT · February 2nd, 2007, 17:05

Will the fabric be printed like parklands (fades like crazy) or dyed like frontenac (can't get mine to fade at all)?

Personally I chose highland because I have CADPAT and Multicam and its the closest one to inbetween...at least until that mudcat was posted.

Camoflage should be mixed with local foliage to be most effective, but for airsoft we really cant be stripping trees and bushes without consequences.

I voted for the second most popular one until I saw mudcat, seems like the best of all so far!

I disagree, the emplacement of the terracat armor makes it blend in more. Light colors around it make the eye perceive lighter colors at first glance so this picture is not fair for the other 2. I dont remember ever playing around washing machines hehe.

I agree, if you are going to roll something out for the springtime, I hope It'd be one of the more green ones. Terra cat looks hella cool for autumn/winter though.

With out grey highland will look like m84. Wich is very effective camo, sort of mix of cadpat and flecktarn.

THE CAT · February 2nd, 2007, 23:13

Even if I don't like to compare, it's obvious that some of my patterns will look like M84, flecktarn or Multicam. It's like art...

THE CAT · February 2nd, 2007, 23:17

LUTNIT. Of course, I don't want my fabric to fade. The final product will be 50/50 NYCO ripstop and/or twill. It's hard to dye, but It worth the cost.

THE CAT · February 2nd, 2007, 23:37

In case you didn't saw them on the other thread, I made some sims of mixed patterns:

*AHEM*

Something wrong with looking like M84?

Not at all Gryphon! I find it great.

Voted Concrete, only because i think it looks kick ass, but for practical playing purposes i'd definately go with the MUDCAT, splits the difference and looks killer.
