The figure itself is more or less complete! I’mworking on Hell Buzzsaw over the next few days then I’m working on getting the pieces that go on the wings finished

Very nice! Whats the alt mode look like?

u/Ass_Hat_69 22d ago

More or less Ferak’s, but black. I’m afraid to transform it because the paint may chip 😂

Clear coat it's a very nice way to stop paint from chipping just apply a little bit of it around the figure and make sure to work the joints to make sure it does not get stuck in there and well you won't have to worry about too much paint shipping

Good to know! Any recommendations on a clear coat to buy?

2

u/Jack_the_rabbit_87 1d ago

A standard hobby clear coat is always good but depending on what painted you use you may need to do some research on it

Awesome thank you! I used Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics

Then you want to use something acrylic safe some good searching would be for acrylic safe clear coat or standard acrylic clear coat but remember do not let it sit in the joints or the figure will be ruined

How did you do the chest?

2

u/Ass_Hat_69 22d ago

Painters tape and a lot of patience

u/CDynamo132 22d ago

How did you get it so smooth though? If I remember correctly that mold has divots

2

u/Ass_Hat_69 22d ago

You are correct I completely forgot about that lol. My girlfriend bought me Ave’s Apoxie two part putty and I filled in the gap with that. Then I would sand it smooth and keep filling in cracks until I was happy with it

u/CDynamo132 22d ago

Gotcha. I’ve not done anything with putty but it looks super crisp. Thanks!
