Re: RobertoBagg10's Display Thread *NEW UPDATE* SSC SILVER SURFER COMIQUETTE PROJECT!
Are you an Ironman fan?
.....always great to see your collections.
Hey Asdf, thanks for the kind words my friend, always a pleasure to hear from you
Am I an Iron Man Fan? Me? I love him!!!
New project Andy? Sounds interesting. Looking forward to your update
any news on your Iron Studios MK42 repaint buddy?
Sorry for the late reply buddy...been catching up with the posts that I hadnt replied to
its funny you ask about the MK42 as I received some bad news yesterday from the guy who is repainting it. Basically, the statue was all painted in the new colour scheme and all that was left to do was to add a coat of clear acrylic varnish to help protect the paint...for some reason, this varnish has caused a reaction to the red colours and has caused various areas to blister
so know the statue has to be stripped down again to allow for a another coat of red
oh well, these things happen and so it looks like this wont be arriving until next week now!!! Gutted, as I was looking forward to placing him in my display case...really looking forward to videoing this display as it will be on a revolving turntable
Wow! Your collection just gets better and better! How do you get so much space for so many new statues coming in? Lol but really your collection is priceless. The silver surfer is looks so freaking nice! Chrominance is very difficult. I remember someone chromed out the destroyer and had a few spikes fall off during the process. Make sure the company knows well what they are doing on these super fragile statues. They are not like rims. Btw can't wait to see more of your 80s customs! 80s rule forever!
Hey CBG, such great comments my friend, thank you
Its funny you mentioned about the Destroyer being chromed as the guy that's doing my Silver Surfer in the States has chromed many a Sideshow/Bowen statue and the Destroyer Maquette was one of them! Shame about the one you mentioned with the spikes falling off but from the pics ive seen, his Destroyer came out really well. Let me see if I can get some pics posted on some of his work
As for the 80's cartoon custom pieces, I've still got the G1 Megatron arriving in the next few months which I'm looking forward to. Currently working on fitting a voice box on my Optimus Prime (which I took from the Hasbro 25th Anniversary boxset) and so that way I can have the statue speak phrases from the cartoon at a touch of a button
Also, i'll be taking a few pics in the next day or two of my 80's cartoon DVD collection which you might be interested in...there's a lot of 'em!!!
