damn he looks kind of cool just like that! cant wait to see the finished product!

all the articulation still works without cracking the paint? I've got two 18" spideys, might have to see about getting one made into a black

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">brian it actually works better....i thought the same thing, but the way his articulation works (kinda snaps in position) works fine....and in his fingers/knuckles it tightened hem up a bit so they aren't as loose........the primer was scraping right off so i was worried however this fusion paint i am using is fantastic....so far no scrapes .....i am also putting a clear coat when finished so i am hoping it shoud be ok....

Looks like he's prancing. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Very nice work!

So far, that looks great. Keep it up.

tight!
I want details on what paint/primer, and how many coats...

Looking good, can't wait to see it done.

Yep. I remember that. That's looking really cool. Sanding all that texture off must have been pretty tedious - but the result's been worth it. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

damn that thing's looking hella-sweet! Im surrpised it came out as smooth as it did! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

I might have to try this!


great work, man!

Very Sweet! I'm not big on the gloss, but still, very nice work!

the gloss is probably inhanced somewhat with the flash, but deal with it! [img]wink.gif[/img]

well thats cool to hear. I'm really looking forward to seeing it done now!

Y'know, I thought about the 18" Spidey custom just the other day.

It's lookin' real good, man-- I'm really super-impressed by how smooth that sucker is. You must've busted ass and a half to get that thing as good-lookin' as it is.

Excellent, excellent work so far!

Looking good man!

A side note... I just found that Krylon now makes that plasticote paint (that bonds with plastic) in a Satin finish. Not nearly as glossy as the original... I just wish they would make a flat version already.

I got the satin, and used in on some new parts... works very well. It takes about a week for it to be "chip resistant" though... but I tested it on a bionicle balljoint and clasp, and a week later, I can snap the painted balljoint in the painted clasp, move them around, and it DOES NOT rub off!!!

hey...thanx for the compliments...was going to finish it today but a party got in the way! [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]

it will be finished tomorrow though...

madad and wlm...extremely tedious, but yes, well worth it....

drau...i was wrestling with what finish to roll with so i asked the board and a large majority said shiny so i went with it....also the flash makes it look more shiny too....

paira...i was really surprised how well thatpaint sticks...it's awesome....

peeker....3-4 coats of flat black auto(car) primer...and so far 4 light coats of krylon fusion semi gloss paint....

Lookin' good man!!!

cool!

that thing's fucking beautiful! [img]eek.gif[/img]

Very nice work! I think after looking at yours, I may pick up an extra for a Silver Surfer custom.

[img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] Lookin' awesome!

AWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!! FINISH IT! I cant wait!

workin' on it now...my friend don is doing the painting....2 in process pics....

Looking Kick Ass dude!! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

I always loved the symbiot suit... I was actually hoping it might show up at the end of the second movie as a teaser for the third... guess it won't be happening... or Venom...
