Trust me man, I couldn't believe it. The guy was cool with just the SW CP and the 89 Alley Viper. I gave him the 93 one just to give him a bit more. He was cool with it because he said he got Camshaft clearanced at Wal-Mart. I never even SAW Camshaft at retail, that and the Wal-Mart Ravage and Rumble. I'm down to needing Swerve to finish off US Alternators.

The Marshalls at Park and Preston still has 2 ASA DVD packs if anyone's still looking for those. They're $14.99 a pop. Nirvana, they also had a bunch of HALO figs there. I'm not into those though, so I couldn't tell you what all was there.

The only thing I'm missing at the moment for Halo are store exclusives (Blue Hayabusa and Pink Hayabusa), so I'm good. Thanks though.
No new SW CP spottings yet. Working on a possible HD TV screen for Joes. The first one's screen cracked pretty bad while working on trimming it down, but I have a cheaper/easier alternative in mind that may work for a screen.

Any pics of this wave so I have a point of reference? I tend to not notice the CPs most days.
With your beard and glasses, I'd probably suggest something like this as a starter shot and build from there.

Niravana or Magick, do you 2 use Tamyia Paints or Testors Model Masters? I am trying to find a better paint or a better mixture to make better flesh tones and not sure if it is the paint or my inability to mix it up right. The 2 colors that MMs have seem ok but the lighter non pink color looks to white and is goopy. Tried watering it down with Windex but it still does not look right on Alyosha's molded heads.
Also where can I find a 0/20 size brush? I was only able to find a 0/15 at Hobby Lobby and they did not know whereI could find one smaller. It almsot works but still not fine enough! Argh, need to get these heads painted so I can finish up some customs.

What you need to do is stop procrastinating and come over to visit so I can show you a few tips in person. And forget the windex if you using model masters paints and just use water. Also, there is an art supply store about 4 minutes from my house where I buy all my brushes.

HAH...just working on to many customs at once and gotten behind not procrastinating!
Here is my take on Overkill...finnaly came up with a combination I liked between the old original and the newer versions. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...n-4-500-a.html

I use good ol GW paints.. some Tamiya paints.. and occasionally a valejo or two. Haven't bought any of the model master paints.. and windex? come on have I not taught a single person here... Future floor wax... I repeat.. Future Floor Wax... Can be found at Wal Mart. LOL
I found my 0/20 at hobby lobby when they were having their brush sale.. But like Alyosha said, he has a supply place near his house. Just depends on how much your willing to spend on a good brush. ; )

Don't look at me. I use MM, but I don't water down what I'm working with and I would never suggest Windex.
Since I mentioned it here first, I'll give you guys a preview of some things I just finished up: First off, I give Alyosha credit for coming up with the idea, but I wanted something a little more accurate. Between the Viper and Double Helix you will notice a certain Terminator 2 Exoskeleton piece in a container. The hand is also removable so characters can hold it like when they break into Cyberdyne to steal the arm & chip. Secondly, there are some new HD TVs for the Joes & Cobra teams to enjoy. The two on platforms can have their screens changed while the bottom one is a cracked model with dead pixels for those fight scenes (or Wii incidents). And last but not least, Zarana can be spotted in the middle. She was meant to be the 3rd Helix sister before my niece knocked her into some wet paint. I finally dug her back out and cleaned up some so she wouldn't be a total loss.

My mistake, I thought Magick told me windex LOL maybe it was future floor wax but I thought that was for a sealant/clear coat more than a way to keep the paint fluid and moist. Magick told me once my paints looked too thick and I swore he said windex or some type of floor polish maybe it was LOL. Windex worked pretty good on another app I did so I thought that was the right stuff anyways.
But still the question was not answered WHERE do you buy the Tamayia stuff and where do I get my hands on a 0/20 brush :0 Also what do you do with skin tones? I see on Cerarus's customs and his flesh (example is is his Leatherneck) is like awesome looking and want something like that.
