Well so far Ive got Luke, R2, 2x stormies and boba with han, loving these
Thought I'd share a horn mod I did with Darth Maul. The original ones looks OK but the red is half way up so kinda makes them look like poxes rather than horns. I used eproxy putty to remolded the horns to make them more pointy, the good thing about this is the eproxy putty is already yellow-ish color, so after the molding there is no need to repaint it:
I also tried adding some panel lines to R2:
Below are some of my shots of this wave 1:
I used this (the black color one):Nice - what did you use on R2 to get those panel lines super clean like that?
I used this (the black color one):
But for white surface like R2 actually I think gray would be more suitable but black was all I had at the moment.
The way to do this is you apply the ink/paint straight from the bottle to a, lets say a corner of the panel lines, then the paint will automatically fill the line itself, and then afterwards you just clean the out-of-line paint with Q-tip with lighter fluid. So I think whether it look clean or not really depends on how you clean it up after. Hope this helps

Well, I didn't find the Sandtrooper I was looking for today, but I did find this!

An empty box? That's exciting.
