Also, did you disassemble their legs to paint the vents?



What's with you man? C'mon!

Sorry about the late response Treble. From what I have seen, Gundam markers are more expensive then small bottles of Testors (enamels). I get mine at Micheals for $1.50 a piece and they last, for me anyway and I do a fair bit of painting, quite awhile. They (Micheals) also have the small detail brushes that are essential for clean apps. Trust me, the few dollars spent on a couple of good brushes will be worth it and they will pay for themselves. I am by no means a pro but, I can get pretty good results. I have found myself looking for figures to do touchups on, silver here, gold there. It can be really fun as well. Practice on an old figure first just ot get the hang of. If I can do it, anyone can bro! (Have also spent time as a painters apprentice doing interior work)

Scourges legs are really easy to take apart, 2 screws and 3 parts. 2 leg halves and a foot, which can be left attached. I found it easier just to take him apart rather then try an paint the areas without doing so. The head is a little tricky though. It is in 3 parts as well. Face, light piping and the back of the head (which will be left on the ball joint). Get an exacto knife to CAREFULLY and evenly pry apart the face area from the light piping. This is much easier like the legs to do if you dismantle him first. If you have any questions at all man, please feel free to PM me. I'm always here to help.
