Have you been getting that too? I've noticed the POC figures seem to get it more than the 25th figures. I can't figure out what's causing it.
Well, 99% of the painting on these has been rattle can, and even using Fusion all the non-torso, thigh or knee parts are tacky because of the soft plastic.
It looks like in my case, though, that it's starting to cure up. Team leader still has noticeable tack, but he's the youngest in terms of completion.
Now, if you're using acrylics then something sounds up.

It might be the primer then. That's really the only explaination. I guess it's just taking longer to cure than usual.
Viper that came with the FANG/Glider did, too. A lot of people used that torso for customs. Hell, I used it for two but I traded off one helmet and got the other torso in trade.
Cloud was looking for the same Viper for his torso, check with him if he'll send you the head?

Here, like this. I can break out the explanations for each step if you like, but it should be pretty self-explanatory from the pics. I left the "wet" paint slightly lighter for the flesh tone to better illustrate the "live" paint.
Hey Rex you mind if I post this on the slayer forum as well, its awesome and will really help folks?
Nah that's fine. Post away. 
Just make sure you host it on the site (or upload it via the forum software, whatever) as I may one day move my links around or delete some stuff from my own server.

With my internet down now for 2 weeks because of the verizon strike it's amazing how much stuff (family, work and hobby) you can get done with less time in front of a monitor.
Blackberry has saved my ass, but it sucks.
Sticking to hobby stuff I've finished my jeep to Rover, a few figure customs and for the first time a true rifle custom.
I took a FOV M14 and made it to resemble the rifle made in the American. Can't wait to post it.
I've been hooked on that show "Sons of Guns" and just saw them make an AK sniper rifle. So sweet looking, I may try it 1:18 style.
Verizon said they'll have a tech out on the 29th. Bunch of shit, they are just hoping strike is over by then. They were out doing work on a house down the street and about 6 picketers were standing around his truck in front of someone's home.

Thats a bunch of shit, I understand the right to assembly, but come-on have a little respect for the man at his house. Not his f'n fault. Want to picket Verizon, do it on their property, not some random homeowners. They did that shit at my house, it would be hard for me to not wet them pricks down with my Tippman A-5
There I go again, getting the weapon names wrong again.
Come on though KT, that show isn't all that bad. You get to see some historical guns and as far as the way out there stuff, that's just good ole American fun. Dream up something cool and ridiculous and see if you can make it.

It wasn't your mistake, it was deceptive language on their parts. They kept calling it an AK, and while the Saiga uses a Kalashnikov style action, it's not the same thing.
An AK is chambered in 7.62x39mm, and isn't in the same ballpark ballistically-speaking to a .308.
They could have put a match barrel on a ROMAK III (7.62x54R) and got a similar result. *shrugs* I did think the MG 42 Vierling was cool, though I doubt he's using war-production 42s if he's only paying 2K each.
Would have loved to see a Maxon Quad on there.

Your right to free assembly ends at my property line. They would not have pulled that on me, I'd have had all of them charged with trespassing at minimum.
Hollowed out German pilot head. It'll fit on pin headed figures with long neck pretty well (Barriss Offee, fore example) but if I want "universal usage" I'll need to nix the throat mic and cut the chin strap.
I think I'll wait for some parts to materialize to do a female Joe or F.L.A.G. (I really need to change that team name) pilot named Wasp and use it on her.
