    Boiling seems to have worked for me thus far I've boiled my Hand Ninjas and they turned out fine... (I have pics somewhere - will dig them up )

    Fingers crossed...

    Personally, here at work I have one of those instant boiling hot water dispensers and so I just dispense some into my plastic container (that I use to hold water for paint as well) then add the piece I'm curing in, cover it and wait for a while. Usually by a few minutes it would be harder, but I tend to leave it and go away for a while. After that, I drain the water and repeat the process just to be sure.

    It's worked for me thus far, and I don't really want to put my toys in anything I would use to cook food - like a pot. :b

    Default Poor man's CJ Upgrade

    O yeh!

    Found an upgrade idea while trolling the custom boards and now I've done it for myself. Nope, I haven't got a dremel yet - this was done with just lots and lots of effort using a frickin box cutter.

    Head was made from parts of that jetski-thing of his with the paint stripped, and the gun is from a micromaster playset thing- the blue APC looking thing with a giant cannon. (I'm sure someone here knows what it's called). It's really just a placeholder till I get my Big Guns from that Landcross set (There is if I recall a nice small gun and the combination of guns can be his 'big' gun )

    Tell me what ya think!
