Here's the acid test to this matter. Show a picture of you at the range firing a completed firearm using that lower. Have at least a dozen or so pictures of an assembled lower from all different angles, different lighting, etc. When all of those appear real, then I'll believe it.

Wow, I wish I could make pretty pictures like that....

As requested, we have added a hemp lower to our lineup... complete with psychedelic candy upper cortesy of the gents at hippie-tech (comes in cherry flavor only).

LOL... This was a great thread and a lot of fun. However, If you check the hyperlink to the original picture, you will see that the pic is posted from his personal folder on the web site of PhotoMosaic.com. The guy is a commercial artist for a living. Signed and sealed, this is a fake the guy made for fun (as if there was ever a doubt).

rsilvers, Nice pics! I especially like the AUG

Hey! these can actually be had with the application of a hydrographic.

My question is what kind of file is that, and can someone send it to me. I can import almost any cad/3d model into max, so i want to play around with it, and make a few renders.

you could legally sell 80% lowers.

No kiddin, group buy on 80% lowers.

But the real question is, can you guys flesh out some of those uppers, and make them complete rifles?

This Robert Silvers?

Robert Silvers, President and CEO of Runaway Technology, is the creator of Photomosaics. He invented the technology at the age of 26 while a student at the MIT Media Lab and upon graduation in June of 1996 immediately founded Runaway Technology.

His new medium dazzled the art world as well as the industry of commercial graphics, drawing diverse clients such as IBM, Mastercard, and Disney. He has been commissioned to create covers for Life, Newsweek and Playboy magazines, and to create portraits of Vice President Al Gore, H. M. King Hussein of Jordan, and Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates.

Silvers' proprietary software, protected by patents in several major countries (US Patent No. 6,137,498), expertly considers minute details in hundreds of individual images to create a beautiful mosaic arrangement. Customized to embrace a variety of applications, Photomosaics have appeared in magazines, posters, and installations, and with moving tiles in music videos and TV commercials.

The reciever should be able to sustain the pressure when you consider the fact that the propellent it uses is more commonly used on mashed potatoes, that being pepper. The bamboo barrel should be able to handle as many as 5,000,000,000 round of jellybeans.

I thought it was real until I saw everyone's other photoshops. Very impressive. Interesting idea, nonetheless.

You mean gravy don't you?
Pepper goes on fried potatoes, gravy on mashed, jeez, get it right.
Mike and Ikes have a better BC than jellybeans.

no I put pepper on my potatoes because the doc told me what I could and couldn't have and the gravy along with salt and many other thing I used to love. High blood pressure sucks and I had to change all my eating and drinking habits to bring it down.

These aren't photoshop; the textures are rendered-in.

We've pretty much beaten this thread into the ground, but I just couldn't resist the request for a complete weapon... so here it is - proper grain direction and all... carefully CNC machined out of the finest pine timber from HomeDepot and then carefully assembled by old-world craftsmen. The logos and serial numbers are fire-branded in after it passes out stringent QA requirement which basically states "if it floats, it's fine". I also threw in an oak bark grip for optimal f/a fire control. Enjoy...

Ok, I used SolidWorks (Photoworks) with files from here http://www.cncgunsmithing.com/ and then Photoshoped in the backgrounds. I was doing it to learn the programs but wanted to see if anyone would think it was real.

Maybz....that's cool. What type of upper is that?

upper rail and buttstock are my own design. Forearm is G36c.

I'll take one as long as it doesn't have that damn sear block in it!

Well, I guess since it's wood I could just carve it out!
