Default Camo CP? Is it Possible????????

Well Its raining here today so no flying for me and since I was bored I decided my CP was looking boring so using a couple small cans of aerosol model paint and some cedar boughs I Camo'd it. Why you ask?? Why not. Looks kinda cool and the process I use for camo looks pretty awesome as well. I even used this to do a buddies skidoo once.Hope these pics show up

Super job, looks great.. good pictures too.

Now you got me thinking about a paint job too. The yellow on the CP is great, but like you say, why not?

Dude its so simple my dog could do it.. heres how.. Get 2 spray cans of your colors. ! needs to be bright 1 needs to be dark.. Spray the whole canopy with the dark 1st. Then take small pieces of cedar boughs like 2 inches square . Hold a piece of it against the canopy then spray right over it. Hold it as tight to the canopy as you can when you spray so it leaves the imprint of the cedar there and do this all over the canopy. Just dont use the same piece of cedar twice cuz itll smear. If you want me to post a couple pics I can no prob. 2 colors of blue look awesome too

OK, I know I will probably be ridiculed for this, but what the heck is a cedar bough??? I assume it's part of a cedar tree, right? Which part?

LOL

Its what is the leaves I guess you could say. Like cedar brush. Actually heres a pic. The first is a pic of what I guess you could call cedar leaves. The second is about the size of as piece you would want to use on your heli.
