Wow, white out is something I never got desperate enough to try. I do however still use sharpies on details here and there. The metallic ones do great for mechanical parts since they’re very smooth and don’t really have a flaky look even though they’re a bit duller. Oddly they still look like the dull metal in stuff like engine components even after a little dull coat.all the gold and silver around the eye and the pistons and gun barrel parts were done with metallic sharpies. I kinda like that they aren’t distractingly shiny, but they do still catch the light depending on the lighting.

You gotta do the setup with them all facing the camera in line, like a full transformation scene

He did, but he still looks stronger than the average Hollywood actor these days and he definitely can act a thousand times better than what I’ve seen from the Rock.

I think the eyes should have been level with the person inside, but that probably would remove the lower jaw. But I still think it would look better that way

Best paint for Bandai DX plastic? (adhesion/durability)
Big s replied to David Hingtgen's topic in The Workshop!
I’m always afraid of enamels on toys, because if it accidentally gets on the wrong plastics, it can turn into a perma goo layer that stays forever sticky. I’ve also never had enamel stick as well to a project as with lacquer. Still usually better than basic acrylics though -

It shouldn’t. I would say heat it up just enough to where the plastic gets bendy, then before it cools too much to put the weapon in hand and then dip it in a bowl of ice water while holding the weapon to keep its new shape -
Yeah, this one definitely fits in the fan fiction area

Nice to see the updates in this one, especially due to scarcity of an actual build for this kit
-
Yup. Basically just take the preexisting thing and recolor it and call it new

Looks like a fun game.

That’s the odd thing is that no matter how packed the boxes are in most cases everything still fits easily in the boxes after construction

General 1/18 Scale Figure and Toy Thread

Can you heat the hands with a blow dryer to get them soft enough to grip the weapons and then ice bath to hold the new pose? that was the trick for a lot of toys, but I’ve never opened one of the reactions -
For me, it was a few of the wave Votoms kits and they have a bunch of little runners instead of the bigger ones like Bandai and I would check out the contents, but I could never get the boxes back together without a bulge at the top
-
Wave isn’t the best at judging box sizes. Sometimes there too much room and other times everything barely fits unless you repack everything exactly the way they were originally packaged after inspection

Maybe they found it after all that moving they were doing

Please post as many pics as possible, this one rarely gets seen

It always amazes me how you can turn tape into something cool like that.

I got so distracted by how the legs look like they’re falling off that I didn’t notice how the arms also look like they’re falling off
-
From the top it gets ugly the way the intakes stick out at the sides.

Those yard bits make the best ground work for earthy scenes. I’m kinda doing something similar trying to find light grayish small rocks for a bit of a lunar look to mine, and I got an idea for an abandoned outpost or something if I have enough time to slap it all together

Best paint for Bandai DX plastic? (adhesion/durability)
Big s replied to David Hingtgen's topic in The Workshop!
The best adhesion will be lacquer paints. Definitely the toughest, but also the most dangerous. You could test on a spoon with acrylic and glossing over with a 2k gloss and I’ve heard that can make the some weaker paints much much tougher. Bassically try beating it up and see how much mistreatment it can actually take. And of course if you want a dull or satin finish after you can add that on top -
Looks really great for the super tiny size
-
That’s kinda annoying, but sort of something I expected would be happening, especially with the updates of classics
