Nice! I didn't even think about using Blue Firefly for this! Now I'll have to buy the Greenshirt set

Thanks kids, glad you dig it.
This one isn't for sale I'm afraid, however I do have hats/heads/backpacks and if you want to round up the figure and the vest/belt then I may be able to see my way to hook a couple of you up. Email me for details. Shog- I'd been planning to do this since I saw that FF way back when....I'm just glad it turned out decent. Josh- I know you have your hands full, don't sweat it. As for beating you to it, Paul K got us both...I just gave him parts yesterday, and he posted his today at TNI. As for smooth/factory made....it's the same old story you always hear....thin your paint, many coats to cover. Good quality paint and clearcoat are a must. Curiously the darker blue has an almost dead match in one of the Tamiya colors right out of the bottle, but the other is color match all the way. Numb- Your stuff just shipped today. Should be out in just a few days to you. Be sure to post when your done. |

PERFECT... I must have that hat.....
BTW: What Clear Coat to do you use on the FIGS... I have never used any, and wondering if it helps protect from chiping as well. |

Again, thanks guys.
V48- Shockwave is and either love it or hate it figure....I'm glad this one was to your liking. EP- I use either Testor's Dullcote or Krylon Clear Flat spray. In this case, I also used a brush on acrylic flat clear coat on the neck/arm/strap details to protect the painted areas from handling. AVAC- Thanks man, but this ones not for sale. If you want a set of the parts to make one for yourself, email me and I'll see what I can do. |
