Is that the Medicom one? I kind wrote these off because they were produced by Medicom but they actually make really nice sculpts. A nice paint job and they are pretty sweet.

Thanks! I think painting that bike is the most fun I've had in this hobby.

I've been staring at the bike with the Thug having a random Dragon body head for months. Thanks again to Greggo for helping WGP with getting the head painted and to me!

Hey Everyone

Hope you are all Well? I've just come back from a weekend break in Blackpool GREAT FUN! Also meet Spongebob Squarepants which made my girlfriend very happy lol. I dont mean the person who played him either just someone dressed up as him lol. Anyway down to business.
I know a lot of you still have loads of outstanding orders but these will be completed very soon as the next few months I'm just working none stop on your commissions and try and fit my own in when I can. The next few days I'm working on something very top secret which will be shown very soon, but I can't say anything until the announcement is out. But Its going to great will at least I think it will be...

Now another issue I want to bring up is the following. I'm having some problems with certain heads becoming shinny. This is due to the oils of the PVC coming to the surface of the paint this can also make it sticky. Below is a list of heads that can get this problem.

Sideshow Indiana Jones ROTLA (Both Heads)
Sideshow Luke Skywalker New Hope Head
Sideshow Obi wan Kenobi New Hope Head
TTL Bond (Feng) Head

If you have any of these heads I'm going to have to change the way I paint them. From now on these will have a light spray coat. This puts another layer of paint over the head, due to this you may lose a little bit of detail, not a lot but it can happen. If you have any problems with me doing this please contact myself. You may not notice it yourself? I only know its missing because I have painted so many of these heads lol.

Again Guys thank you so much for all the work I'm really happy that so many of you come back to me and want me to paint your things thank you so much and all the best to you all.

I think the James Bond heads you have painted for me may have the same problem as well matey.

Bet it was packed in Blackpool!

In fact all the plastic/pvc head i painted an sealed with purity seal seems to have the same problem.

From now on i never use this sealant for the pvc/plastc head and seems that i don't have that kinda problem anymore.

Added buddy, send it back to me again and I'll have a look at it. Yeah it was packed with scum lol. But I enjoyed my time there due to the fact it was my first break since 2006.

Cheers for the heads up Seb! Pardon the pun lol. So you think, its down to the seal?

 

[elvis1976]

I' pretty sure it is yes.
Now i'm not using any sealant on plastic head and they don't leak anymore.
So pretty sure it's from the sealant or I will say a spray paint can.

I once painted a head using a spray paint can and the head leaked a few days later.

It's fine since I sent it you back that first time mate, you remember? You have already fixed it for me lol. I have noticed though TTL heads have changed in terms of material since that head though. They're a lot harder now.

That's blackpool for ya!

I'll do some tests and see how it works mate. But thank you so much for the advice.

I saw you got on the list for Adam's 007. Can't wait for that one man, I bet you can guess how excited I am For the sculpt and your paintjob?

Greggo, this is different from what Seb stated but I've used the gameworkshop sealant spray can and have had no problems. My SW 1/6 heads of Luke and Han are still going strong for quite some time.

Cheers mate, I have found some heads have no problems and others do, it does depend on the PVC used. I'm going to do loads of test for this. This will be my 10th test lol.

Yea maybe that Indy head is different, I haven't painted any of those, I can only speak for the SW's heads.

I know Billy Sole is sort of rubbery and he's been good for a few years as well.

Goodluck
