That battle damaged shield makes me want to pick this guy up again.

Well my $25 Hobby Lobby bike is mostly finished. Here is how the bike looked when it arrived:

Here it is after my paintjob:

I would like to add leather pouches to the back, but haven't found anything for that just yet.

Great job! Looks amazing. I have no idea how to paint mine...any pointers?

Well I'm certainly no expert. I guess one important thing to start off is to have the right colors...I happened to have an olive green, flat black and gunmetal colored paints which were perfect for this job. It wasn't particularly difficult, honestly.

If it all unscrews to get it apart, unscrew it and paint the pieces separately. It has to have gone together some way. With most toys, it's usually screws with a bit of superglue here and there.

I think these hobby lobby bikes are welded.

Phenomenal paint job but it looks a bit too small for Cap IMO.

I agree, especially when you sit him on it. But I plan to pose him standing next to it, it looks better then. But it is a tad small. But hey, for $25....

And yes you're not taking this thing apart without doing some major damage. It's all metal and welded together. I had very little problem painting different pieces using different sized brushes, and trust me, I have no idea what I'm doing.

I do wish I could find some nicely fitting leather pouches to go on the back.

LOL nope, its quite unsightly. Its not just random spots its a whole section of the edge.

I had it in a display case for quite a while and it just so happened i recently noticed the damage to it.

Ive had collectibles like an old Toy Biz iron man figure that had similar issues, but the paint effect didn't come undone like this for at least 10 years. This figure isn't even that old to be experiencing this issue.

I really wonder if Hot Toys has improved on the technique for the new figure at all.

Mate, you need to post this on HT facebook page ASAP!

Agreed. Let's hope the new Cap don't have this problem.

Hey Fellas,

I've commissioned a custom Cap bike built on a 1/6 Harley. It's coming along very nicely. Here's a link:

Just got my Cap Avengers Head off eBay from a seller in Hong Kong. Just wanted the head but it looks pretty good on the FA body outfit.

Definitely more of an action pose head. The rescue cap works good too when you think about helmet hair.

Feel free to repost it if you like, but all HT is going to do is just ignore you or give you the run around as they have done to so many in the past. Thier customer service is probably the worst ive ever experienced. Asian Ebay scalpers/kit bashers to my surprise are more customer friendly only cause they have a public rating that they need to maintain, as opposed to HT who's going to make money regardless of QC issues.

Just pick up a pack of Super Sculpey. It can be worked like chewing gum and is *very* easy to use.
Once you are done, 30 minutes in the oven at 100 Deg C will set it solid.

Thanks. It was about 1/5 scale give or take.

True but at least it can be brought to the attention of the masses and they can see the poor QC issues and hopefully if more people complain, HT might change materials used. If that makes sense?

I think I still like the new angry look the best.

The chris evans head looks good, I just don't like the expression they gave him, he looks pissed off.
