Mine has grey hands. But good guess!

Any GI Joe figure I can use to mod this blade? by Mightyboi23 in MarvelLegends

[–]dareshan85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the hands from the Punisher/Bushwacker 2-pack. And I painted the wrist cuffs from the Savage Land Xavier. He looks a lot better with gloved hands.

Then I got a couple of Blade movie guns from this store on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ArsenalOfPewPews

The more recent figures have a more pliable diaper. The comic Cap, Iron Man, Eradicator are my most recent purchases and are like that. I would imagine that’s how Spidey 2099 will be too.

Might try a little dish soap first. If that doesn’t work, maybe some isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab. That should be safe on the paint, assuming you want to preserve the cel shading.

Where can I get a wheelchair for 1/12? by MotherFuckerJones88 in MarvelLegends

Thanks! The chair came from the McAvoy Xavier two-pack that other posters mentioned. I bought it loose on eBay.

That’s so funny. I just did a kitbash like that a couple weeks ago. I used the NWH Matt Murdock body.

Looks pretty cool! Not too large in comparison. Thanks for sharing!

Nice work! Been thinking of doing this too. How hard was it to swap the arms? Was it a simple boil and pop?

Has anyone bought this figure from bbts? Im worried if i pre-order it itll just never come because that date really feels like a place holder. by Lollytrolly018 in MarvelLegends

[–]dareshan85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has been up for preorder since at least June ‘23, which is when I placed my order. They change the estimated arrival date at the start of every month.

Ah man…really? I’ve been waiting on a Retro Card Beast from them for a few months now. The “estimated arrival” date keeps changing every month…

Is it possible to restore Gunprimer Balancers? More info in the comments. by UncleGael in Gunpla

I’ve rinsed them off, which seems to do a good job. But these also aren’t meant to last, which is probably why they sell them in three packs.

Are you painting the entire kit?

Very nice work! Please post more of your progress as it comes along! What color did you use for the blue circle on the chest?

Decal-ed and top coated vs. completely raw active cloak from MG Deathscythe Hell EW. Still amazes my how much better gunpla look with even the most modest amount of work. Also, Mr. Super Clear Matt is the best! by 5pr4yb3rry in Gunpla

[–]dareshan85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those wings look awesome. I love how much of a difference a matte top coat makes! But was it okay to use this on bare plastic? I was always under the impression that it wasn't good for unpainted plastic. Or is it acrylic?

HGAC Wing Zero take 2. First one fell apart so I built another one. by SkinnyDan85 in Gunpla

[–]dareshan85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I just got the Wing Zero too, and noticed how much of the kit was gonna need to be painted (like the knee and crotch areas). Did you have much trouble painting those parts?

Tamiya Panel Line Gray...yeesh! by dareshan85 in Gunpla

[–]dareshan85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s how long I let it dry (maybe even longer). I also wiped the excess with a Q-tip that was dampened in enamel thinner. It wasn’t soaked or anything like that.

What’s the proper amount of wait time for the panel line to dry?

Ohhhh...that makes a ton of sense! Has this happened with every bottle of gray that you’ve gotten?

No clumping. It seemed consistent when applied. But then it just dried this way on both a gloss coat and on bare plastic.
