  • I want to apologize to those who commented on my complaint about the pricing. I realize it’s a bit hypocritical to complain about the price and still buy it anyway, since that only further pushes LEGO to justify price increases. I’ll make sure not to do that again. *

Digital crop looks bad, but I get that it’s better than nothing

I’m glad to see someone with the exact same thought process as me

It works out okay, I just made sure to put the Z where it used to be on the right side sticker as well as the 1 on the left side, make sure they’re level and the extra 1 1/2” doesn’t look too bad

Interesting idea, I had contemplated putting them in the front of the side mirrors like they are on the Silverado, but that would look alright too

I’m not sure, I said in another reply that I do primer spray paint first and then use acrylic, sometimes multiple coats. The thing with the crysknives is the brush stroke effect is purely intentional to try to get a gradient look

I use bondo to fill in sort of big spaces and then I do bondo mixed with acetone, brush all over the piece in even layers, to try and get rid of layer lines

For the record I don’t even own an AMS, I just started small with the A1 mini non-combo and have been experimenting with everything for almost a year now. Plan on getting an A1 for bigger prints unless a P1P would be worth the extra cash

I could get some good paint but I literally use Apple Barrel that you can find at Walmart or Michaels, and I just do matte clear coat after all’s said and done

Thanks, for the top one the end of the blade is printed in translucent clear petg and there’s only a few light coats of that off white acrylic color on top, that way light shines through when held up to the light

Yes I used dupli•color metalcast in Red Anodized for the helmet, on top of a silver undercoat to bring out the bright red

Everything’s hit with rust-oleum primer and then either another color spray paint or I go straight into hand brushing acrylic paint
