It's gonna be hilarious in the worst way when he gets reelected.

Perry/Bachmann 2012.

Come on, you know Perry can do it.

Texas has enjoyed a 30% increase in employment opportunities over the past 2 years, and a lot of this has to do with Perry's policies.

They'll bring up the secessionist comments and end his chances. Don't think i like Bachmann, either.

 

[The BLAY]

thats really cool! this works really well on this figure!

 

[xhairs]

very cool.

 

[Keenan]

That does look great.
When I saw the movie The Crazies I wanted to try the same thing. The military in it looked like this. But in the end I couldn't bring myself to painting one- and break up my Umbrella forces.

Did the Krylon turn sticky? I've been having problems with my Krylon I use as a base-coat staying very sticky for quite a bit. Looks good otherwise.

 

[K-Tiger]

There's still some tack to the soft plastic parts, but I don't handle them much so it's not unacceptable to me.

I should paint the Type 92 to match them, but I just don't have the interest anymore. I really should reassemble it before I lose parts and have to chuck it.

 

[Midget]

I have the same issue with the POC Vamp.

 

[K-Tiger]

I was thinking Night Watch, but that's lazy Joe fan material.

I dunno, just frustrated with life and the hobby, I guess.

 

[Rick]

How's he look in the Huey?

 

[K-Tiger]

Never put him in one. He was made for my MH-6. I imagine like any other Joe, gazing blankly out of the upper windshield.

 

[flint-wo2]

Awesome work.

1804 views of this puppy. Nice KT

Does the Krylon Fusion spraypaint actually melt with the plastic so that it won't come off through handling of the figures?

 

[K-Tiger]

In theory that's what it's supposed to do. It probably does on the torso and thighs, but while it will (eventually? maybe?) dry on the other spots I don't believe it "fuses".

I really ought to do another of these so that the MH has a "peter pilot", but I think it'll have to wait until I do Wild Bill.

 

[Lowlight33]

I dont know if its been mentioned but a SBD Body would look sweet as well, great job with the paints! I like the LJ the best!

 

[K-Tiger]

He might. I'm not about to buy a piece of Hasbro garbage vehicle for the driver, though.

 

[Slaymaker]

Maybe this was asked already...did you disassemble figure 1st? I really like what this looks like...and may want to give it a go. And possibly use the idea on other figures I wish were cast in a completely different color. I have never tried spray painting a figure before...only vehicles.

 

[K-Tiger]

Yup, it got disassembled.


If I do one again I'll probably just Model Master it. The three I spray painted didn't come out bad, though I broke the elbow during disassembly on one and he has since been "recycled".

 

[Slaymaker]

Good to know. thanks!
