PREDATORS – Mr. Black Mask Life-Size Prop Replica

[mr.thrifty]

Just got it in and overall I like it. definitely a different feel to it then the others. love the lenses.

My only issue has nothing to do with the design but with a couple small chips in the main finish coat. they're not the damage marks that are supposed to be there but chips, also one on the top with a scratch along with it...

i use something else to replicate teeth's enamel. I use enamel. ...nail polish clears and glosses.



Like this:

You used nail polish? I obviously didn't do somthing right, because when I tried that, it just removed the paint on the teeth
Bye bye 325$...

It seems like somthing bad always happens to whatever new collectible I get... and while I was typing that, my computer chair just snapped in half.

What? Surely you're joking? If not, did you use nail polish or nail polish remover (which is basically ACETONE, and it will remove everything)?

I've been using "Love My Nails" coats for years without any issue (wow, that sounded weird!). And if it was strong enough to remove paint it wouldnt be of much use to put on painted nails, would it?

It is nail polish, not remover. L.A. Colors.
I started putting it on the teeth on the left side of the jawbone with the brush that comes with it (maybe I should have used a different type of brush? Or not even a brush? Somthing else? ), and it looked great untill I noticed one area was very white.. I decided that it was already like that, and continued. I noticed it on another area too, and was fairly sure that it was the nail polish.
So I tried it on another part of the tooth just to make sure..and yea, this long streak of paint came off onto the brush.

[NickNack]

I plan on leaving mine just as it is. Knowing me, i would ef it up if I tried to customize it.

Thats how I always thought, but you know what! I said no! I can do this!

Well, thats just odd. I've never used LA Colors myself, (Wow, has this thread really become a nail Polish topic, and I'm participating in it! ), but have used several other brands, ever since WAY back in the day (almost 20 years ago) when someone recommended it as a glossing technique on Gundam models and the insides of Kaiju mouths (actual kaiju's, not me! ). I use my own brushes for small areas, but have used the actual applicator brushes for larger areas (both coats on the Berserker's teeth were done this way). Did you brush lightly (even then I cant see how anyone can exert any force with the dinky little applicator)?

What are you doing tonight sweetheart ?

Oh, you know, me and my BFF Resin are going to go get our hair did!

Well, that's where your friendly neighborhood 'Kaiju Customs' comes in! "No job too little, no paycheck too large!"

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Yeah, I used it very carefully. Disappointing.
I wonder if I can get it exchanged for another one.

 

[mr.thrifty]

Do you all have a ripple along the left top back edge of the bio?

 

[Mike the Wolf]

What #'s did you guys get?

 

[mr.thrifty]

What #'s did you guys get?

Show me yours and I'll show you mine.....

 

[Mike the Wolf]

[mr.thrifty]

#77 here.....ATM...

So, do you have that ripple I was asking about?

 

[Mike the Wolf]

I didn't go look at it but I know it had some flaw on the back, kinda looked like it got near something very hot.

 

[Mike the Wolf]

I got my return info tonight so I'll back him up tomorrow.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Mine is #114.
On the mid - top left crest-like part there are several bumps/waves...
Like someone pushed their thumb down, skipped a bit, did it again, etc.
