    Default Screw Covers

    Is there a company that sells screw hole covers for Masterpiece figures?
    I'd really love some for Hot Rod's arms and legs.

    Oh, I thought you were going to have a rant about bands that don't do original music

    I'd take your MP into a decent hardware or electronics store and show'em what you need. Chances are they won't have it but may be able to point you to a store or website that would

    And Madonna shouldn't have been allowed anywhere near American Pie

    I doubt that you'll find an easy solution to this. You can do gap filling on TFs (I have on several customs) but to do it properly, you probably need a good epoxy putty, filing and sanding, and colour matched paint, all of which is a pile of work, and very difficult to do well.

    Another option is to place stickers over the holes - Reprolabels.com sometimes do this with their sticker sets (Generations Jetfire is one example that springs to mind, to cover the big gaps in his forearms) and in that case they usually colour match really well. I expect that if Reprolabels release an MP Hot Rod set, it should be in the next 1-3 months, now that Hot Rod has been getting into people's hands.

    Madonna shouldn't have been allowed anywhere near a microphone. Ever.
