Nah, I just use it to give a glossy sheen to items that should have it. I'm dubious it would have long term durability on something like a Transformer, but could see it's utility in tightening, or in this case, gumming up, joints.
On the Workbench
- Thread starter Midget
- Start date
Floor polish would be strong, but I would think it would be too thick to use as a sealer in most cases. If the joints were loose I could see using it to tighten them up. I think the best bet for protecting against chipping in joints would be to mix the paint with some type of epoxy or acetone to better bond it to the figure.
I thought about a Hefner, but never bought a Raz Body.

Future Floor Finish use to have an acrylic product that was just an acrylic clear coating. It was great when diluted for clearing up scratched canopies. Can't imagine it would work for Joe joints except for gumming them up.
What did you use for the blue? The closest I've come is with Tamiya flat blue. It's what I used to make my silver logo trooper from a DG trooper.
Working on VSS 2.0 in hopes that it will spur me to actually start the NVTDS projekt. This time I took the scope and mount off of the top of the receiver and moved them to the left-hand side. The paint this generation is more in-depth, though I think I'll forgo wear 'n tear this time.
Most ancient first model on the left.

It looks great K-Tiger.

Looking proper, KT. Never understood why they didn't mount ithe scope right...
Finished pouring the second one of her,only I used a Vortious head on this one. I'll be painting her this weekend,and sending her out to her new home. I traded her for a bunch of custom waterslides from my man over at Bad Mother tattos&decals
Also ran a Daina head for a fellow tanker with left over plastic from the arm pour,this is the pic I sent him,lol.

Do it! The guy has some really nice decals! This figure is getting a tramp stamp he made for me,and a playboy bunny on her back shoulder.

Thanks fellas. I sent him the pics,and he was very pleased
Dropship,those are Zarana feet,them "boots with the Spurs" lolz. I know we had a conversation about boot feet before...the only bad thing is the Zarana I copied her left ankle joint was cast off center from hasbro,so all the copies share the defect
still look,and work perfectly tho.

Highly inappropriate for nephews and little action figure men and women.
I believe this would be a lesbian prison tatt, maybe a prostitute, I can't recall. Obviously NSFW.
I forget the precise origins of this one, but I think it would look good on Omega Red's arm or back. :trollface:
They get worse, though.

Do you have more information on this figure/project? Custom sculpt by you or someone else, who's casting, are they for sale, etc.

What K said,the head&upper torso are Vortious/Stacco sculpts. The entire figure was cast by me except the metal bar&screws,lol. The arms are my sculpt based off retaliation lady Jaye arms...they where made for Vortious,and will be in his store soon..I also made a Harley Quinn head for the project these arms where made for,and it will also be available from Vortious's site,as well as the entire figure as a kit. the right leg is notched for a knife sheath or trooper holster btw.
For those random readers I DO NOT SELL CASTS you'd be surprised the messages I get,lol. I'm in it for a hobby,anything I make that people show interest in will go to Vortious,so he can do what he does..I'm purely in it for fun,and love of the hobby.
I'm working on bare joe style female legs right now for another project..

I didn't see the pics when I first read your post, KT. I think I beat you to your edit.
Anyway, those are awesome! The second one hilariously awesome!

I would trace them on acetate and eliminate the pointillism dots. That could be a mess shrunken
