I kinda like that bow you have with hawkeye, cept I'd take an exacto knife and cut off the tiny plastic points sticking out and would give it a more solid shape/design and paint it black with neon highlights lol.. but that's just me.

I would say most aren't the greatest at painting, but it doesn't take much practice to become good and it's a calming thing to do, relaxing but can be frustating especially if your desperately wanting to finish and it's like 3-4am no sleep lol.

Tips, do all your mods first, cut,sand sculpt, get it over and done with then just focus on paint.
Paint -type oil,acrlyic,spray etc... acrlyic is cheap $1-2 per bottle, non toxic, washes out of clothes, not as good of coverage on plastic, more or less will take a few coats. The others coat better but have fumes and are more of a tacky finish when they dry. Doesn't matter the quantity or quality of bushes at the begininng get yourself a few cheap decent brushes or 1 good set of 5 brushes, 1 tiny brush, 1 flat,1 angle, 1 large, 1 medium. the basics. may cost ya $5-20. Or spray paint you can get specific ones to coat plastic, go outside with a piece of cardboard underneither spray 1 side, take it in let it drive go out spray the other same process till you get the desired effect, when happy clear coat, you can buy spray on or brush. With painting and sealing the paint, start with a little and add more if you need more, 2 much on the brush and you make a mess and you loose detail in the piece. As far as the green goes you can buy glow in the dark paint for like $10 for a small pint of it, but that's a shit ton of glow in the dark arrows aka it'll last you forever. But you can also get youself mini model sets of bright neon colors, and most autopart stores sell "touch up" markers for scrapes and dings on cars, well you can buy just about any color under the sun,very similar to Gundam Markers I believe.. found on HLJ.COM escentially paint in a marker... pretty simple... hope this helps you some, also check out jin saotome's site

http://www.jinsaotomesdangeroustoys.com/ ps if you really want pay the shipping cost to and from and I'll paint it for you.

Thanks Again! This are great TIPS.

On the other hand, if you do customs I am really interested in an X-Force Archangel, How much will it cost me for you to make one?

we can arrange a Downpayment for you to buy the Action figure and Paint!

An once it is finished I pay the rest and you UPS it to lima!!

ludovicotek · 07-23-2011, 09:09 AM

When is the Hasbro panel at SDCC?

Symbiote · 07-23-2011, 01:06 PM

I'm waiting in the room for it right now. They are doing minimates followed by hasbro at 2. They are going to announce 2012 figs too.

Tiberius · 07-23-2011, 01:09 PM

Come on ares, lets seeeeeeeeeee an ares

Tiberius · 07-23-2011, 04:30 PM

Still the worlds greatest super hero family =3

Symbiote · 07-23-2011, 06:04 PM

Tiberius, there was no ares. No white queen either. However they did announce angel, scarlet witch, a new mold punisher, kang, fing fang foom big, puck, hercules, nova, nighthawk, she-hulk, ff spiderman, my favorite jubilee. I so want to recreate the 90s jim lee style.
The legends line is back and they are coming out with good stuff, new steve rogers, madame masque and madam hydra, wreaking crew, bucky cap, terrax, heroic age thor, ghost rider with blue flames, constrictor, klaw, extremis iron man, my favorite hope summers. The baf is arnie zola. Two different ones though. The other one is with red skull as the face.

I will upload pics soon.

That setteles it for all time- Marvel Universe is the single greatest toy line of all time, hands down.

Symbiote, pleae upload those pics! Madame Hydra in particular!

Primacron · 07-24-2011, 01:08 AM

Beast, Psylocke, Kraven, Mister Sinister, Scarlet Witch, Jubilee, Hercules, Kang, Fin Fang Foom, Angel, She-Hulk plus new Hulk and Punisher. Yep, I'm extremely happy.

I reckon that's better than last year.

Looks like my dreams are answered. i get a Nova with Darkhawk! Did they happen to mention if Nova is in his classic costume or the modern annihilation era one?

Annihilation but willing to bet that there will be a classic variant.

Both were announced (though I've only seen pics of the modern version)- the 90's versiion is the variant- diffrent shoulder pads, helmet and wrist thinger- might as well be a whole new figure!

Optimus Vader · 07-24-2011, 09:33 AM

Nice FF pictures, Tiberius. I really need the FF set.

And now a Spidy Villains update..

Optimus Vader · 07-24-2011, 09:40 AM

Dinofreak, keep posting. You have some great set-ups!

NOVA.

It all ends there.
In other news...

Psyched about the whole Future Foundation thing they got going on. Psylocke looks fantastic, as does the new Punisher mold. Hell, ALL of the new molds they got going on look really impressive. And Jubilee...must buy. 2012 is going to be a good year for MU indeed!

And a shocker! also Dr Strange, he's not a villian but friend of Spiderman's, you also need maryjane if you don't already have 1, I wish they made a mysterio figure, would be sick,

It is from the Showdown line my good sir. When ever I get this bad boy I will be looking into parts to extending his tentacles for he can stand of them. Body shape is perfect for Doc Ock too!

Also, this does it, I am finally pre-ordering my Steve Rogers wave, done with retail.

Optimus Vader · 07-24-2011, 06:54 PM

I have a MOC Showdown Doc Ock in my sell/trade thread if anyone wants it. I accidentally bought two. Seriously.

Tiberius · 07-24-2011, 07:58 PM

So, a few weeks ago some fellow arkers told me how I may help solve my lack of restocking of Marvel Universe in my local Wal-Mart. So I bought the 2 Namors, returned them a city over, and now my wait is over! To my amazement I saw....wait, NOTHING! Price tags are gone and replaces with these stupid Spider Man motor cycle things =/. So in other words, I am hooped locally!

Oh well, after seeing the Cap movie, I am wanting to make a "flame off" Jim Hammond. Anyone got any ideas what to use for body, head, ect?
