Eddie,
You said you were having problems with your paints. Are you using regular Testors model paints or their acrylics? -Gary |

I've just recently moved back down to Norman with the wife and kids. I still work for my company in Tulsa and drive up from time to time.
Yeah, VS used to be pretty good for all sorts of toys. Sadly, they are now more focused on Video Games and DVDs... -Gary |

Anybody know which hat would be best to use for this Sgt custom? I have no clue which to use or where to even find one.

Sounds like you may be using the Testors ENAMELS and not the newer acryl colors. The enamels will react with the rubber/plastic used on the action figure and not cure (ie, stay tacky).

you could try to seal it with testor's dull coat spray.
it would help tone down the shine some, and would dry better so it isnt tacky anymore. anyone think about using the new wild bill hat? i still havent seen the MC pics, so i dont know how it would look. just a thought.

thanks for the tip Gw2, i'll have to check out my paints when i get home from work...
Drift, the Wild Bill thats coming looks like it has the tassles like the old school WB hat not exactly the Sarge look i was going for, but then again neither was the look i ended up with, although it matches Hasbros pretty well... |

you could always use a hobby knife to "filet" the tastles off the hat. ;)
but does it have a pointy middle, with the 4 dents around the sides? to me that is the defining look of a drill sargeant's cover.
