    Default Hello nurse!

    Or should that be... medic!

    I reshaped the outline of the foot and filled in the legs with apoxie sculpt. Part of it was damaged when I tried to separate the leg halves and trying to remove the cheap screws. I have to say this to has some of the worst qc I have ever seen. Cheap plastic, cheap screws and dodgy paint apps, all for the bargain price of $70
    On the plus side the general design id pretty good and the proportions are ok. The screen is quite nice and very clear. I think I'll keep the original head too.

    Geez I didn't realise it's been more than 6 months since I've posted any customizing stuff

    I've painted the legs and now they're nice and smooth with a light coat of Gunze tourmaline green pearl. I reshaped the toes and heel to improve the balance of the figure.

    Some nice spring weather and I'm feeling the itch to sling some paint.

    The quality of your finish on those legs... just excellent!
    Do you factor in the increased thickness the paint gives for your joints and do you sand it down to reduce friction?
    One thing that always bugs me is painting rubbing off on joints

    Cheers mate! I always take into account paint rub and sand down the plastic to both fit the paint and to scratch up the plastic so it bites.
