If you're looking to get a combat bust to clean...I can do it for you for a small charge..I even have an extra combat bust I can sell you. Lemme know!


Thanks, Chewee :cool:


So I worked on the left leg today...its coming along really nice. You can see in one of the pics the "battle damage" on the leg..its a small mark that can't be retouched. I don't mind it one bit..the shiny chrome is magical.

I've done more of the leg but don't have pics..I'll get more shots once the full leg is done :banana

Them some hottest thighs I've ever seen. *Whistle* :naughty
 
Saw something similar on one of the BD skulls that was cleaned up. However, on a 1:1 fuil endo, i hardly think it'll be noticeable.

Worse case is you could over the section with a light black mist and that'll mask it and give it "shadow" and "depth".

Keep up the good work man.

:)
 
Incredible.....looking very good!

You're quite fast with it! ;)
Thanks Toni :)
I'm doing a little every day...time is going by quick!

Thanks sir..
yea..it won't be noticeable..I think the most noticeable part will be the chest plate cuz there is quite a bit of battle damage there..its covered up quite well by the "black stars".

RAIN-
yep...sexy thighs, lol!


Here's an update with the lower left leg and feet:
The entire lower left leg and upper front portion are done, including the foot. Seriously- its amazing the difference :cool:

will be heading to the market tomorrow to buy more nail polish remover pads :lol
 
Head looks beautiful..

Those black stars on some skulls look pretty good, while on the other ones look really bad.

Looks like neck will be a killer to do, but you'll nail it ;)

You are the man for tackling this, and it is looking amazing. I hate to be the one to say it though since it's too late now, but you probably shouldn't have used those pads. They are leaving fine scuff lines in the surface. I used cottom balls and the bottle of Equate non-acetone to do the three skulls I've done, and it didn't leave anything but perfect chrome.

Yea..I noticed the camera picked up some details there...the scuffs aren't really visible unless you look really close and from a certain angle.
Its funny because I cleaned my skull with the same pads and didn't notice any fine scuffs whatsoever...even looking from different angles.

I guess I could give it a final touch with chrome polish or something..
 
Looks pretty cool...I like the combat and clean version. I think I may pick one of these up soon.....is SS still selling any?

To save all that "cleaning'' get this version instead!:monkey5
