So dont paint shit- get black electrical tape and cut the zig-zag with an X-Acto knife, then just apply it like a sticker.
You will get perfect lines that way too- and it's a super fast, super cheap option!

As good idea as it is, there is far to much zigzags to even attempt now. I am sick of white paint until next year :P.

Awesome- you love those paints- practive on something first to get a feel for them- dont worry if they go on with paint strokes- it'll blend down when it dries.
Maybe make a Sentinel Iron Man from a spare fig...that would rock.

Not if you do it right- it's strong stuff and yuo can burnish it down with a pencil blending tool or back of a paintbrush.
You would just cut the tapelines where the torso seperates.

I'm going o try it and demonstrate for ya. -gotta find my ziplock of Fantomex parts first!

I'll use black sign vinyl, but it's about the same difference, really.

shortysben · 09-01-2012, 07:43 PM

quick question though, how long does green stuff have to sit before you can start to paint it?

Until it's hard.

Honestly though, I got no idea. Not to long

LORD MARVEL · 09-01-2012, 07:46 PM

my first custom was fantomex

Tiberius · 09-01-2012, 07:48 PM

Fuck the zigzags, as long as they are there, doing their thing, I couldn't care how accurate to the comic it is. Aslong as everyone knows it is Fantomex, and that he is bad ass.

Jason Abbadon · 09-01-2012, 07:48 PM

See. that looks really good but if you had masked the black with blue painter's tape it would be cleaner.
You can still do that though- no need to repaint or anything, you'd just be making the stripes slightly smaller.

I am usually pretty food with straight lines. But in this case, its the shape of the body which makes it difficult, for me anyways, to keep it going straight. His mask will turn out better because there isn't all this detail and crap. The tape idea would just take away detail and just wouldn't be able to work on this body mold. At least, I don't see it working. I am not a big customizer.

Completed team!

THE AVENGERS (The Avengers Vol. 1 #110)
Black Panther
Captain America
Hawkeye
Iron Man
Quicksilver
Scarlet Witch
Thor
Vision

IMO one of the best "classic" Avengers rosters.

SquirtleSquad7 · 09-01-2012, 07:58 PM

Very nice! That's one of the main reasons I want that classic Thor and scarlet, to do some of my favorite lineups.

Jason Abbadon · 09-01-2012, 07:58 PM

Well yeah, it's an eight person team though- back in the day there was this lame charter limiting the team to six- it was a government thing under Gyrich.

Grab the Avengers 3 pack. I got that on display all by itself. It is one of my favorites ever.

SquirtleSquad7 · 09-01-2012, 08:01 PM

I do hope to pick that up at one point. I've never seen any pack in stores before besides the GOTG and X-Force pack, and even that was gone before I could even go back for it though. I have terrible collector luck.

It was seven and they had to include an African American.

Falcon was so bitter about being the token African Avenger at the time, pretty sure he quit right afterwards.

Avengers 3-pack one has a weird paint job.

If someone really wants the Thor/Enchantress pack I know where one can be found for $15 MOC.

Yeah, that's right. I think Hawkeye got shafted when they put in Falcon or somesuch.

mikefavata · 09-01-2012, 08:05 PM

I know Gyrich was in the X-Men movies (...) but I wonder if he'll end up being in Avengers 2. Maybe he was part of that shadow group above Fury.

I like it, gives a real classic feeling to it. Oldschool.

Yup.

Speaking of govt. types. Dell Rusk... no Avenger could figure out the letters spelled Red Skull?

Marvel Universe 3.75" Figure Marvel's Kang at Toynk Toys
Kang in stock for $20, here is a free shipping code I got for getting Baghead spidey cancelled, not sure if there is a limitation to its use, I won't be using it. YOSHI123

Appreciate the link but, personally, there's no way I'd every buy from Toynk again.

Alchemist559 · 09-01-2012, 08:34 PM

Figure I would not waste the free shipping code in case someone else wants to attempt it. They did give me a refund no problem, so they didn't really rip me off.

usagent27 · 09-01-2012, 08:35 PM

We should make a thread for sites that Arkers should avoid....like smalljoes...
