No, I use a little electric paint mixer before I start. I prefer and mainly use Testors MM for joes. I just had the Tamiya gold and a few other bottles for specific projects. Some are excellent but you confirmed that the Testors has the better looking paint. I will be buying a bottle soon. Thanks!

I notice you also painted Destro's eyes red (or did you just stick the comic pack's on the carded version?). When I start finding comic packs here I'll definately have to try this.

Zephram, I did switch out the heads for Destro. The red eyes makes him look kooler. |

Nice! I wanted to switch original Destro's head with the DVD pack's, but I was always afraid to force it for fear of breaking the ball-joint (the vac-metalized head is made of a much harder plastic, and has much less give). Any special secret to popping them off without damage?

Nope, he is going to use that little red pea shooter. LOL. can you imagine this behemoth shooting at you with that little gun.
Zephram, you are definitely right about the plastic being harder. I moved the head up and down and turned it a couple of times to get it loose then I dipped the head and neck in boiling water for like 5 secs. I then stuck my thumb under the chin and poped it. Its on there pretty tight but so far, no neck casualties. Last edited by Kalibus; 08-28-2008 at 11:18 PM.. |
