Just Ordered This Bad Boy...

STD, yes.

Just a side note:

Painting the white spider on symbiote Spidey has been a pain-in-the-ass.

I started by painting the torso white, then made paint masks that made the shape of the symbol, and sprayed the rest of the body flat black.

From there, I peeled off the masks, cleaned up the rough edges, then started going in with a black Gundam marker to do the detail leg lines. I've fucked up a few times and have had to repaint the white, then go back in.

I'm content with the front of the figure, but the back still needs work, and the sides, too (where the spider leg lines meet). The left side of the back of the figure will have to be completely repainted once the black paint lines have dried, then the lines re-drawn.

Ugh.

hmmm...Gundam markers you say?
I might have to look into those.
are they expensive?

[White Line Nightmare]

The markers themselves are relatively inexpensive, but the shipping is what kicked my ass. All in all, it was about $7.50. Again, not exactly what I was expecting to pay, but I've never seen the markers in person before, as they're from Japan.

I got the marker to draw the webs on my red & blue Microman Spider-Man, since it's thinner than a Sharpie Ultra-Fine.

Here's where I got mine:

It's a GM-01 Fine Point Black Marker
