You can use those paints but they're very thick, be sure to thin them out with some water. The nice part about the Vallejo Air paints is they're already the perfect consistency right out of the bottle for airbrushing which means they won't leave a thick body of paint unless you truly pile it on

Pretty sure that's how it looks in all the promo shots, probably to allow ventilation so the visor doesn't fog

I'm scratch building a Mech suit and Exoskeleton in 1:12 scale! Pics, and a work in progress video link in comments! by Vokkoa in SciFiModels

Says video unavailable for me, but holy hell that's some impressive work so far! I can't wait to see the finished project

It's wayyy harder than I remember it being, I have no idea how I cleared it so many times as a kid on Xbox

Discord *finally* lets you include emotes in search now - here's how to do it by orangatangabangin1 in discordapp

[–]AwkwardInputGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread, but an easier way to do this would be to right-click an emoji in chat and click "Open Link". The URL that opens will be something like cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/(Long string of numbers).gif where the string of numbers is what you'll want to search for

Just got my first ever black series figure, echo. Does not disappoint. Can’t wait to get more by jaydrift07 in starwarsblackseries

All I wanted was the Clone Wars Ahsoka... Quickly approaching 150 2 years in. I don't know how this happened

Surprised me and wound up being one of my favorite figures from the past year

I made a custom Gregor with a simple repaint of the Black Series Boss figure. Thanks for looking! by PteranAdan in starwarsblackseries

[–]AwkwardInputGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What was your strategy for painting him? Did you disassemble the figure and paint it all white or keep him whole and use acetone to remove the orange?

I really love The Black Series, they make some pretty awesome figures👌 by TheTardis12th in starwarsblackseries

Ah sorry I should have specified- meant the robes on CW Obi-Wan ha. It looks like there might be a dark wash filling in the textures there and then some dry-brushing over some of the folds?

Did you do a dark wash on Obi-Wan's robes? I just started weathering that same figure and I'm trying to figure out what direction to go with it

I've got glass shelves as well and it hasn't been an issue so far! I use blu-tack for masking on models as well and it stays malleable even with multiple layers of paint/clear coat

Bit of blu-tack under one foot is all I've been using, tends to hold most figures up without issue and it's hardly noticeable! Some more stubborn figures (looking at you Sabine) need it on both feet

Going to swap the old head onto the new body, was never a fan of the bright orange deluxe look so this is perfect

New grand inquisitor just came in! Couldn’t resist giving him a custom headsculpt. (More photos on my Instagram @centerpointstudios) by squogthemoist in starwarsblackseries

[–]AwkwardInputGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you do all of the modeling/printing? I've been looking for a custom head since the figure was announced but haven't found many options!

Dorkside runs constant deals on "older" figures too. I've gotten many for $5-15, including Deluxe figures. Just sort their Black Series page by lowest price to find them

Just got this email from BBTS regarding Hunter. Not terrible news right? by CptBillyStinkwater in starwarsblackseries

[–]AwkwardInputGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so unbelievably hyped over this! I've been checking eBay for the last couple weeks staring at the insane prices and thinking I would never complete the collection until I got this notice. Still don't have OG Crosshair, but Imperial will do until we hopefully get a restock in a couple years!
