March 11, 201313 yr oh man what you done to a great model, i understand what your trying to achieve turning it into a poseable figure but its made the arms look out of proportion and the hinges on the knees are below the knee cap, but if its what you want its your well spent money gone to waste.
March 12, 201313 yr Author Its not done. This was bought with no box have way put together with a bad glue job. I have two more kits with box not put together. I just was trying to save the model. When its done it well look better.
March 13, 201313 yr at Lost Units reaction to the custom! man dont hold back! i think its agreat idea and i do hope you work the articulation out on it. i thought about doing this with the max factory 16 one but i would end up ruining it or just giving up i think... funnily enough i cam accross this today http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MAX-FACTORY-MEDICOM-HOT-TOYS-1-6-CUSTOM-ACTION-FIGURE-THE-GUYVER-/121077484685?ViewItem=&ssPageName=ADME%3AB%3ASS%3AGB%3A1123&item=121077484685&nma=true&si=zQIyyyl%252FwBLZcYRNlWz4k20lOzA%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 cool... its agood job it ended before i found it otherwise i would probably have tried to get it and be broke.
March 14, 201313 yr Author update. Just started some more putty touch ups and am fixing to place things. Prep work is almost done and painting prep should be soon. I'm looking at trying to make the control metal have the new lines on it. And I have given her an up to date hip and waist look. No more 80's from mom pelvic look.
March 14, 201313 yr did you put the model over the top of the moveable figure or use the hinged joint to where you needed them. It look quite good in spme poses will you be painting the figure if so how you plan hide the joints with spray or gonna leave them be.
March 19, 201313 yr Author Both its a Frankenstein under there. I'm going to sand the joints and use putty on them and then a primer. This will take sometime.
March 24, 201313 yr I am rubbish at models etc, but Da-amn, that is one heck of a collection! I'm keeping an eye on this thread, the model looks to have improved, the hips do look a lot better.
April 6, 201313 yr My God man! Share the wealth! lol j/k That has too be one of the best Guyver collections I've ever seen.
April 26, 201312 yr very nicely done, Are you happy the way its turned out , will you be doing future projects now that this one is near completion. I love the way you painted your guyver 1 was that all your work if so i might ask for tips as its the standard im looking for. Well done.
April 27, 201312 yr Author It's starting to look really good. It's hard to tell by the pictures but it has two different purple paint coats and I'm fixing to do a wash and highlights. I used to do a lot of customs. the two best techniques that I use would be a dry brush technique And the wash technique. any place that you have rub areas if the action figure is possible then paint the area and if you have a place that rubs off then you can place a drop off super glue that's clear over that area after you've touched it back up with some paint and then the next time you will not have a rub area.
