What should I do this 42 or Whiplash mark II?
Got money only for one the price is same. For me 43 is the best but the price is almost 100 $ more.
I am mostly in SW line and HT gone crazy this summer, im saving mostly for that.
I was never ever in my dream thought that i would buy some IM line figure, but after 42 and especialy 43 my defence line is broken.
Oh yes and i saw mark 45...
MK42 :lecture I think its better, just imo Its really your choice :D
 
He's right its the KA 42

Still a beautiful photo though

Awesome pose, might have to steal that one.
 
I know this figure gets a hard time because of all the gold, but I think it looks great. Dare I say I think it's better than the Mark 43?
 
Wow. That's some good effects of weathering on the 42. May I ask how you did that? I have been wanting to try something like this for awhile.

The battle damage parts do not go with the crisp clean look of the bottom part of the body. Also, with the price of it, I'm too scared of what will happen if I mess up.

There's no easy way to do it. If you're scared you'll mess it up, I wouldn't do it. I got some spare limbs or parts off of ebay when they were more in abundance and got some good deals.
I used a dremel polisher tool on the metal parts to have the actual metal show through. On the plastic parts I did a light sanding with a fine sandpaper, to add just enough texture on the areas I wanted paint. I like to use acrylic paint and water them down a bit for the darker/smoky damage, going over it again if I want darker.... and then go over with silver to highlight.
 
Thank you. Going to try and attempt [emoji16][emoji16]

Does anyone happen to have a scan of the instructions for this figure? I got one today (with the fixed arms), but it's missing them.
 
I was going back and forth between getting this or mark 43 eventually I caved in and got this instead of 43 and I am blad I did.
