I did recently change it from a flat to semi-gloss finish so it matches more recent stuff I've worked on, which incidentally reflects a lot more light. Oh nice, I've only just started learning to use those kits on a hangar display. I don't dare use it on a valk just yet hehe. 3 hours ago, davidwhangchoi said: he truly is a great master. honestly think the his vf-1s roy is one of the best!

I'm sure if you only produced a small number on a made-to-order basis, it would fall under fair use and Big West won't sue you. Though maybe consult a lawyer first. 10 hours ago, sumyumgoy said: Yea, I did a double take on the Vf-1S, looks "Ultra-Premium" Thanks!

I won't buy a single thing one of those pos Eaglemoss models. The build quality of the ships that actually show up intact is terrible and out of the seven primary Enterprise four of mine were broken on arrival.

I got it from HLJ at half price, and HLJ has been pretty good at replacing or refunding for broken items like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOS Enterprise the port side nacelle was snapped off. A, the saucer section was broken at the neck. The D both of the nacelles were snapped off. Only the B,C and E came out unscathed. I managed to fix the D well enough but the NX-01 is impossible and the TOS one looks horrible where the nacelle was snapped off so even though it's glued it looks really bad. Not going to bother with the A. They were part of "special" three and four packs of all the Enterprises and the distributors didn't have anymore so I tried to contact Eaglemoss directly and they told me to go away. So I have, screw them and their shoddy products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh9000 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) I'm going to customize the head to make a younger Logan.

I think the one on the "vintage" card is just a reused head from the unmasked Wolverine in the Jubilee BAF from several years ago. I was going to suggest finding one of those to use for the head because they used to be a dime a dozen but it looks like you can't get them for very cheap anymore.

I think it's a slightly different head. I'm happy with the one I made. I just need to fix the hair a little bit and paint over the wrinkles, eyebrows, and hair.

Slave IV Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Wow, you're doing custom Marvel figures too @sh9000? Nice! I finally just watched Logan last night. Surprisingly good movie. I went to 4 Targets and a few Walgreen's over the weekend and saw 0 new ML or BS figures. I did find a TDKR Joker to pretty much complete my Batman collection. The only other figure I'd want is a shriveled Superman if someone ever made one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Rasp Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I got an awesome shipment from HLJ! And what is inside the box??? I am loving the Hi-Metal R Xabungle. I have not watched the show but it is an excellent figure. I got the gundam stuff on HLJ last sale and the re:edit iron man to continue with the growing collection. I need to find time tonight to open Guyver 3 and the Kshatriya. I don't own any other Robot Spirits but the Kashatrya looked too good to pass up.

I haven't picked up the Modular Iron Man yet mainly because I don't think it looks like the Modular Armor design from the comics and the look suits War Machine better to me. Still, it's a great looking figure and I see it's on sale currently...Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
