You mean the top ball that connects to the head, not the ball on the torso above the collarbone, right?

Well, this was a real bonehead move on my part. For some reason, the neck balls in the collar are different sizes on Scarlett and the SB. So it was never going to work anyway. I managed to get the neck back on Scarlett (which was fodder) but now I can't get the neck back on SB, which is my only one. I've tried gripping the ball and pushing down, putting a paintbrush end in and pushing it down, putting it on backward and twisting it on. Nothing works. The standup collar provides a very narrow space to work, so the hot neck part just mushrooms out with any force. I'm at a loss, boys.

yeah they're like panel lines, i was going to do a wash and line them like this:
dude mentions it as an aside for like a few seconds but it's been the most helpful panel lining trick i've ever seen. i've done it before on figures. but this time around i am looking for something thinner to get into these super tiny web lines where if i were to wipe off excess i wont completely wipe the paint in them away either. https://www.amazon.com/My-Pets-Frien...s=120950744011 You HAVE to let this stuff dry well. It takes some practice to use so that you don't get "tiding". Soak up any pooled areas with a brush.

i think we looked at panel lines and lost track of the question. (even i did)

i have an o-ring spiderman i am going to be painting pretty soon. i wanted to try the thinnest paint i could possibly use, and while looking into panel lining i found acrylic inks - then i looked into it a little more with my usual minipainting channels.
and while these work pretty great for miniatures - has anyone used them on their customs? im not worried at all about paint rubbing on joints, im more concerned with it being thin enough to get into super tiny webbing lines. does it cure like paint? like, it wont rub off if i touch it? i know i can just see for myself since im already about 10 bucks into them; but before i go crazy i was looking for some insight since the only insight with them im getting is from unarticulated miniatures rather than action figures. |

panel lining and washes are fun though. i have three spray bottles in the garage with super watered down brown, green, and black. i hose everything down with them that needs it from above.
i used the panel lining instruction from the video i shared to do some lines in the face of my phantom starkiller. but side to the side, i keep saying "panel lines" when asking about acrylic inks and holy shit man, i wish i would just say "i want to use acrylic paints on this custom, has anyone used them before?" but i dont know why i am having a stroke instead. |

Hey guys,
As a Testors MM widower, I’ve gone through a bevy of different brands with varying results-Citadel, Army Painter, Vallejo, Tamiya- I’m finally sold on Monument Hobbies. Great coverage, good natural durability and adhesion. Their white is fantastic. So just for anyone still lamenting the loss of Model Masters, that’s where I’m at

that's good to hear. i wish i wasnt in the spot to have to go with craft paint or no paint. it's cheap enough that i should jump into proacryl and donate my craft paints (it was sounding like the spiritual successor to mm).
i hate rustoleum; and i hate that they bought testors and ran it to the ground. i've opened brand new rustoleum spray cans and gotten fuzzy chunks all over a project i spent weeks sanding down - notj ust primers but regular spray paint too. krylon has paired down all their displays in all the stores around me so i HAVE to buy rustoleum shit. another plus is that a proacryl bottle is supposedly the same thickness as a craft paint bottle, so if you're like me and made a paint holder the pro acryl will fit.
