ive had proxima midnight annoying me with her screen accurate but crazy long legs so i cut the ankle peg holder off then the whole leg extender ,superglued with baking powder reinforcement the holder back in place , this removed 1'' from leg length & makes her helas height ( to me it also reduces the tiny hands/pinhead look) trimmed 10mm off trouser length to give shoe more room to angle.

hi got a present toys t-800 deluxe ,very pleased heavy sturdy figure so i took the advice from here & youtube & did the following: 1 cut outwards from every hole to reduce the cookie cutter shapes 2 extended the leg damage hole & painted black inside 3 dry brushed dark grey over all the seams including bandolier & lighter pass over wrinkled areas 4 drilled the bullet hits deeper 5 used 2 shades craft paint for suble blood leaking on the leather & round large wounds 6 used tamiya clear red to gloss up the raw meat 7 light sanding on the grenade launcher then drybrushed all weapons 8 sandy wash on lower half of boots 9 used just a spot of pva to glue in the grenade shells (except 3)as they fell out when posing. 10 hairdryer on the ammo belt so it curves nicely around his feet 11 found him difficult to pose as no ankle tilt so i cut away the back & inner side of the boot so he now has about 30 degrees movement to leg spread/toe point as though walking.

hi. so i wanted to usb power these 3 figures so i used an r/c plug (ebay 4pk £13) with the 7 port usb hub (ebay £6.30) with 2 usb-c for gantry & mk7 + 1 usb-micro for centurion (total ebay cost £3.50) the background was an internet image (printed for £6)

i received the new mk6 & gantry, great product but with unclear instructions. the arms looked unpainted so i car primered grey then silver topcoat, black matt enamel onto the piston housings & 2 shades of wash into recessess. a spot of blu-tac allows exta pieces to be added to the arms.

before the mark 7 diecast stand if you wanted to fly a diecast you were taking a risk so years ago i made these to fit on flight stands ( earliest on left) i bent pieces of coathanger then used a 3d printer pen to fill in then sanded smooth, they worked very well.

I usb`ed my iron strange weapon array. please note i did originally use a 120r or 1/4watt resistor but lights were quite dim so removed it also my method involves no damage to anything but for better cable concealment you could drill through parts. so remove the 4 array backs & unscrew battery covers take your wire & loop round the spring, cut a piece of plastic or wood the length of 3 batteries & use it to wedge the next wire on to the negative repeat 4 times,replace back not battery cover . take your 4 positives & join to the red wire in your bare ended usb cable via solder/solder sleeve & join your 4 neutral wires to the black,white or blue wire depending on your cable. then used heat shrink sleeves to insulate the joints. i ran my usb cable into a hub then into an rc wallplug . if interest i have an unused array with or without the gator guns for sale on ebay uk only.
