[Rats]

Excellent work as usual! That came up very nicely. A huge improvement on the off-the-shelf item! :thumbsup :cool

 

[MooCriket]

Outstanding work! Really pops!

 

[stevielewis]

Looking super!

 

[Galactican]

Awesome! The lights add much to the appeal. When K2 is lying flat on the bench he looks a bit like Frankenstein's monster waiting for his awakening!

 

[Scarecrow Joe]

Thanks guys!

Started the weathering....

Added some graphite and chipping. Still a long way to go.

Before this gets too old, I'm wondering how the paint has been holding up. One of the online mods to the Jakks Pacific Masterchief reports that the plastic they used is polyethylene - a very difficult plastic to paint. Presumably they used the same plastic for K2SO. I have the 'Chief on the way, but want to start planning a durable paint job early, especially since I expect to need to do a lot of masking.

 

[Scarecrow Joe]

Paint has been holding just fine.

 

[WarpeD]

Ah, that is good! This must be the stuff: http://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/universal/universal-flat-spray-paint

Very nice build thread, and love the pics. Can't beat the price for these monster toys.

Thanks!

 

[Scarecrow Joe]

I actually used this one:

Thanks for the correction. Just ordered two cans, just in case.

Looks absolutely amazing! It makes me want to try one. Any tips or tricks on your awesome weathering job?

Thanks! Nothing special to the weathering really. Form experience my last step is always the shiny metal scratches (exposed meta). Clear coat tends to dull its finish, making it gray.

Awesome work.
