Prometheum 5, Sorry, I did not mean to discourage you. I just hope we all get what we want. The kit I got a while back was from Mike, he said mines was the last cast, due to the deterioration of the molds. The set I recieved was still pretty nice, and yes it does require a lot of work and patience to get it just right.

What does the surface look like on your tested piece? Mine keep coming out somewhat like the 1/48 fastpacks, good looking but not smooth. Could you post a pic.

Well, pretty much the custom will cost you more. Think of it this way.. - Valkyrie needed for custom $25-40. - Paint - $15+ (or alot more if you use spray cans) - Decals $20 - Elint Armor recast - $75 (if your lucky) - Other materials: files, sandpaper, putty, etc. CHA-CHING!!! - Time & Patience - Priceless It is really alot cheaper to get a 1/60.

P5, If your too lazy to get a 1/60 Elint, then get ready for a world of hurt when you try to cutom build a 1/55. I am still working on this custom. It's been a week since I touched it. That bad boy requires patience and time. I am almost done though, just cleaning blemishes and such. But in my defense, I have already completed: 1/35 Blue Legioss 1/55 VF-1A Low Viz 1/55 Super Ostrich (not really a custom, just refurbished) 1/100 VF-1D 1/60 GBP-01 Gundam And I still have others to complete, aside from the Elint.

GBP...defenitely, GBP. Who would do the casting? Price? I would take 2 maybe three if the price is reasonable.

Thanks, I knew it sounded familiar. I had not seen that pic in a long time.

Sorry folks, I am not familiar with the AG armor. Does anyone have a preview pic? Plus if anyone if anyone interested I have a custom 1/55 Low Viz I still in the process of completing. It just needs few minor details. I will try to post pics sometime soon.

Nice work JasonC. Who's recast armor did you use? What kind of paint are you using?

Oh man that looks awful, you should get that eyesore removed from your collection, immediately. It could contaminate everything you own. If you need help disposing of it just send it my way. Just kidding. It looks good. If your willing to part with the elint let me know. NB4M.

Exo, What did you try? Plastikote or Fusion?

Resin update....see main post.

MJ- Fusion is much more scratch resistant than Plastikote. On either of the two you can't remove the color with your fingernails, but if you use a sharp object like an x-acto it can remove overspray without damaging the final coat. Hiro- These types of mediums are dyes and do not adhere to any metals. You would have to find a paint that would coat well on metal, and always remember to use primer first when painting metals. I an currently working on a low-viz scheme on a bandai, using these types of dyes. It is coming along very nicely. I will post "clear" pics soon. Nothing like the legioss. Stay posted.

It's seems to be along the lines of Batman. First Batman (original Bugs), then Batman Beyond (new Bugs), and now "the" Batman (soon -to-be-, not the original, but re-styled/visited Bugs). I think WB will go full circle and return to the original version of bugs once they realize just how bad it is. But then again, who knows it just might turn into an alternate universe "Bugs and Freaky Friends" series. WB is well known for this type of genre animation. We'll see.

Nice deal. Does your friend in need have any more?

It sure is.

Colors, k-k-k-kolors, kolors... Where's Pac-man?

The paint is not thick at all. It goes on very smooth. Search the forums, I recently did a review for PlastiKote and Fusion.

Nice Max. Good job on the paint. One critique though, lacks soul. Pose it more dynamically, as if, it we in action. Great job though.

Thanks for all the comments and for putting up with the grainy pics. NB4M

Stop, stop...you're making me cry. Words could not describe the work you have just bestowed upon us. NB4M

Devin, Glad to hear everything is getting is on the up and up for you. Welcome back. Alex

How close are you holding it to the subject. It could also be that you are using low pressure.

That's the one. It has a dual purpose that works on both plastic and vinyl. I want to try it on resin next. Hopefully it will work out.
