Nice pic, I've just bought myself a digital SLR camera, when it turns up I'm hoping my pictures will no longer look naff. lol

Added the new Stark sculpt to my Mark VI, not perfectly fitted yet but I'm happy enough with it.

Damn, that is some serious weathering on the Mark VI. Looks pretty cool!

Took a pic with the new camera. Still one of my favorite figs.

Lovely photo, since getting into the hobby the Mark VI has become my grail suit to own, initially it was the Mark VII but I love how sleek it looks... One day I will own one (be it IM2, Avengers or who knows if the new MkIII takes off well)

That the head from the new Arc creation Stark? Looks great, love the extreme battle damage on this thing!

Bootleg is good enough for me - amazing custom weathering on VI though.

Does your bootleg have a really dark skin tone (darker than the neck)?

Mine is very dark.

Mine is very dark.

It is rather dark yeah, and darker than the neck post, but I just assumed it was because my neck post is from a Damn Toys figure or something.

The bootlegs don't use any yellow or red paint in them. So their skin tone is usually modulated with dark shading which makes them have a nice tan going on.

saw one bootleg hs and you can tell since the eyes are so different

OK that's why it's dark but also drab/grey looking relative to the 'rosy cheeked' HT originals.

Hey guys! So I bought this from a collector together with bunch of other armors I was missing. The panties aka pants aka shorts were fading pink which is normal. I saw Xenomorph video on Youtube and it seemed REALLY EASY to remove the paint with Thinner or Acetone. Needless to say, I used regular nail polish...fail.. Acetone... fail... Mineral Spirits..fail...WTH!!!! The red/pink faded paint would come out easily but the Silver paint seemed that it became embedded in the plastic(?) is that normal? So, I went everywhere to buy something to paint it and well ended up at Pep Boys buying some car paint which came to be about 95% match in daylight and 98% match with no direct light exposure. Problem was that I am not an expert painting (lol) so it is not as smooth. Also, the black lines got covered and now I would need something to accentuate them again. The paint would not have matched that well without using a Gloss spray so I had to get one of those too. Just finding very rare the issue with the Silver coating not coming off no matter what I was using to remove it. What do you guys think of this paint I choose? A good match? What can I do to make it look more authentic and accentuate the lines giving that I am a noob with paint and paint application?

Try a gundam marker to repaint the lines black.

Also Tamiya panel line accents works great for the lines. I hope you sealed the material before you painted it though. If you used a laquer paint it can eat the material.

Which color did you use? (The paint code)
