Some sad news.
I thought my CA:TFA Shield didn't have any of the paint issues.
When I looked at it this morning that wasn't the case.
It had flakes of blue and red missing and spider web cracks on it.
I never touched it or had it in direct light of any kind.
So I bought some gloss coat and I'm spraying all my Cap's shields now,well not the Rescue version,haven't heard any issues with paint on that yet.
I've done 3 coats so far,maybe will do a 4th to be safe.
This sucks.

Just replied to your other post and noticed this one

its a bit worrying as I've kept mine in about the same conditions that you've described

I'll have to have a look

Any reported issues of the same thing happening with the Avengers shield?

Well I think the Avengers shield is just like the FA shield.
I sprayed that one too along with the BD version.
Four coats of clear coat and they look great.

I had exactly the same issue - it was only upon reading this thread that I thought to check and discovered it. Really annoying to see!

In the end, I scratched it up some more and just let it be a 'battle damaged' version. I also got a star spangled shield - fortunately, the WW2 outfit is pretty versatile.

What brand/kinda of clear coat did you use?

 

[DarthTrafford]

There's no hobby stores in my area.
I looked at Testors clear coat but each coat takes 24 hours to dry.
Believe it or not I used Krylon Crystal Clear.
It dries in 15 minutes.
It doesn't yellow or fog.

that's a great mod you did there, looks exactly like the Avengers version!!!

Wait a minute.....

 

[vodoun]

So it is. Most of the threads read the same.

Still a great pic though of Cap, badass lighting too.

 

[Statiss]

Great pic

 

[Jaycepticon]

Nice. Where is that from?

 

[Statiss]

No clue, found it while browsing Pintrist.

 

[inked]

It's concept art from the first Captain America film

 

[Viking Spawn]

Great pic

Looks sweet!

This may be a stupid post to some, but I found out something pretty cool while posing this guy. I played around with the belt and placed the gun holster in the middle of the pouches. I swear it was meant for this, the cut out behind the holster is the perfect size to fit between the pouches. The belt IMO looks perfect now

Even the prototype pics of this fig had the belt on the other way.

Sorry if this was posted by someone else in the past. The little things amuse the **** out of me lol

Is it just me or is this one of the best, detailed figures HT has ever released? This was my first HT and still one of my favs.

Look how ugly this looks stock...
