Hey Tex are you going to paint them? Cant wait to see what you have in store for us.
I was at the mall the other day and this guy had a Budweiser hat on and the back of his shirt said "TEX" so I said hey Tex and he said "actually my name is Bradley". So it wasn't you after all. Yeah, I am going to paint them. I'm super intimidated though. I need to get one of those big magnifying glass stands with the little clamp arms and stuff. My old man eyes make the tiny stuff a problem. Lucky they came Cast in a good cream, bone type color so hopefully it's easier than I think. |

I made the wash to thick and he came out darker than he should have, but I like him.

Oh I disagree, I like the darker look. I was never a fan of the bright blue troopers. I thought "these guys are supposed to be bad asses and they are running around in bright blue unis". Love the look buddy. You are cranking out some masterpieces.
Do you use a sealer of any kind after your paint?

Haha ok nothing to do with anything, but a lady here at work just said "I was chewing on that wiener in the kitchen and had to spit it out because I couldn't swallow it". Geeze.

Why couldn't she swallow it? Was it a ball park frank? I am not using any sealer yet. When I went to the supply store the guy said to use the testors brand, but he was sold out. I am going to check back with him next weekend. I get mixed answeres when asking if I should use it. I want to give it a try. It's only like $5.

The advice I've gotten on sealer is that if you don't intend to handle the custom much (such as a display piece) you don't need sealer. Also, the application can be tricky and if done improperly can actually increase the likelihood of chips and cracks in your paint. So I've never bothered.
Also, i agree. I like the darker trooper. Her looks like cobra special forces.
