The only time I used tape on a figure was to paint a leg stripe on my hooded CC custom. I bought 4mm width masking tape from Hobby Town. I put a strip in the middle, then put strips on each side of that center tape. I removed the center piece and painted the stripe. Other than that, masking is usually not needed.

What do you guys use to mask before painting?
I just used old postage stamp leftover sticker and wasn't sticky enough. I figured I'd just hold it long enough to dab some paint on, but paint was too watery and don't have the distinct shapes. Doesn't look too bad. If I could remove some paint with precision, it would be better. What were you trying to paint?

Super-random question: Is there a real world reference for Alpine V1's jacket? What with the padding and half-length, it's such a distinctive design that it makes me wonder about the inspiration. I'm working on an Alpine custom and would love some real-world reference material.

Got a new idea for something. Does anyone know of a good shoulder holster accessory for maybe a Marauders button down shirt with tie torso?

Another one that came with multiple modern era Joes (and originated with another Hawk figure) is this one: https://onestopjoeshop.com/collectio...39685113872535

RoC Destro has a decent holster.

And TBS or TVC general Lando, which might suit the smaller frame of that particular torso

I see Marauders now has shoulder holsters. They look pretty good, too. I ordered a couple to fiddle around with.
And I found someone on eBay who has a custom Bruce Lee as Kato head. I ordered it as soon as I saw it. Now I'm praying that same person eventually does a Green Hornet headcast and I'll be set. |
