Statue Alien: Big Chap Legendary Scale Bust

[PermaG]

Well, you posted pics when getting the box...then pics saying when you first opened...so I thought you might not have been done.

Guys, be careful brushing off the Styrofoam dust off it, make sure it doesn't get pushed into the gaps between the dome and head. You will never get it out if it does.
And an easy fix to seal the gap - brush-on nail glue. Works great:

Yeah, I'm afraid I made this mistake when I first started brushing off the Styrofoam residue. Of course, if the dome had been sealed properly in the first place then this never would've been a problem.

You really do talk complete & utter drivel. & you're incredibly antagonistic to the extent where I've no doubt that you manage to get into serious arguments with your own shadow.

Awww... Come on man.. You lashing out now?

my gap is pretty wide., do you think this would still work?

Worth trying... It dries clear, so you wont see it, and it might seal it due to capillarity.

Wide gaps... Big Chaps... I'll bite my tongue

Hopefully I'll get the opportunity, come Monday, to experiment on removing the residue and black overfill sealant safely.
Other than the unsightly scuff I have, what looks like, two fingerprints in a glue substance on the front if the dome.

Let me know if you have any luck - I have some black overfill and some residue as well....

Col do you know if Lee checks his stock before he ships them or have you sent him a message asking to check for damage in the past? I’ve never received anything damaged from him but always put it down to luck of the draw This one has me worried.

Yeah, he checks everything as far as I know.
Someone did receive a Warrior with some issues though. Not sure how that went.

Someone has a sealed Big Chap Ex on eBay for £400...
That's like playing Russian Roulette

That's me. He was checking to see what can be done but I haven't heard anything for a week so will shoot him an email on Monday.

I was wrong, he wants £500 plus £35 delivery

Ridiculous how many of these are faulty, they should be perfect for how expensive they are. Might have a go a clear coating some areas of mine to gloss it out more and eventually might chrome the teeth, depending on whether i get a replacement or not

I managed to remove some of the polystyrene dust from inside my dome today by using the nozzle attachment on my vacuum and placing it where the gaps are. There's still some in there, but there were a couple of large lumps that were bugging me and luckily they have vanished now. If anyone else has the same problem, I recommend giving it a try!

Nice one, Rizob. I have some polystyrene residue trapped in the dome so I'll give that a try the next time I can summon up the courage to take it out of the box again.

The vacuum or the bust ?

I just blew in air in the front "opening" and put a vacuum cleaner at the back "opening", got out all styrofoam residue. The I resculpte the teeth and repainted them. After that I slimeiliste it

 

[Collectorcol]

^ Nice job!

 

[Python]

Nice, do you have a view of the teeth front on? I've just took mine out of the box properly, loads of crap under the dome, I'm going to get the airbrush out tomorrow and try to blow it through with a high PSI. Unfortunately that won't remove all of the scratches and air bubbles.
