You're just making this **** up as you go along.

You're worse than George Lucas!

This conversation is over.

 

[devilof76]

You started it.

 

[King Darkness]

Did not

 

[skooternb]

Alright kids! I will pull this car over!

 

[Butters]

Amazing figure! His legs just keep growing and growing...

And I thought they were going to be too short...

Moody atmospheric shot of IG-88 on a hip shooting rampage

I've repainted him totally to look darker in places, and more metallic in places, but more pics will come soon!

Eyes are switched off as im fiddling about trying to make them orange instead of red

I wanted him to have a dirty metal texture, like the sort of tubes/sheet metal you touch and end up with black grease all over your hands

Awesome! Better pics!

Will do, bit late now but i'll try do a load tomorrow

Still no proper photo session of his repaint, but here are some artsy fartsy ones I took with the medicom 4-lom that I'm also mid way through repainting lol

Anybody know of a good fix for a loose ball joint portion of IG-88's shoulder? The left ball jointed shoulder on mine is really loose to the point that it can't hold any pose on it's own and doesn't stay in any stationary position on its own.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Clear acrylic nail polish, in small coats.

 

[Boba Ben]

Thanks Deak. I think I'll try that to tighten the joint up a bit. Does the clear nail polish make coated area look shiny?

 

[mortifactor]

Also I used a microscopic dab of super glue on the elbow joints of mine, and constantly moved them for about 10mins till I was sure the glue had dried without locking them solid = glue lined joints that are tighter

 

[kl241]

Actually this stuff works really good for loose joints. Curing time is longer than 5 seconds but it dries completely within minutes.

 

[Boba Ben]

Cool. I googled the stuff. Do you know if it's available at your normal retail stores like Walgreens or if it has to be ordered online? Everywhere that has it online charges more for shipping than the actual bottle of nail polish costs.

Just bought a bottle today for 4 bucks at Sally Beauty. You can find it at most nail/manicure supply stores.

Thanks. I might feel a little awkward going to the beauty shop to buy a single bottle of nail polish, but IG-88's worth it.

Yeah I called them first to make sure they had it in stock. They'd probably freak out if I told them what I was using it for.
