Minor touch up of Venom

domshen · 05-22-2012, 10:17 PM

It seems as of late that the quality control for more and more toys is non existent. I mean the prices keep going up but the quality goes down. You have to look through all the figures just to find one that isnt as bad as the rest with paint apps. Well sometimes you can not find what you are looking for in any stores so you have to order online and hope for the best. This venom figure was a total mess when I go it. I do not have any before pictures but I was able to clean it up alot with a fine paint brush and some patients.

The paint on the face was no where near any of the molded lines and the spider logo on the back and front had no legs, they where all blended together. I think that this turned out rather well for what I had to start with.

You did a great job with him! Very professional looking to the point where I feel bad having skipped that fig when I saw it on the peg....because it was sorta...purple.

I dont know how fesable it is, but you could maybe get a nailfile and sharpen the teeth for added awesome.

Thank you very much!! I actually did consider using a file to sharpen then teeth but didnt want to mess it up.

You know what would make that even cooler? Get a small bottle of clear Gesso arrylic and coat the tongue- it'll look wet and slobbery!

Very nice. It looks alot better.

I completely agree about the the whole QC issue. Most of the time when I look for the one with the best paint apps I end up getting a messed up joint.

Once again great job!
