thanks,
the lettering are all white decals. with the black boots and tights, it was possible to use decals and go over the edges with a coat of black to blend them in. am waiting on some heat transferred decals from the deanster to hopefully get a few more flairs out soon

wanted to do some experimenting with swappable hands. modified the wrist sockets and peg joints and attached a tiny magnet to each end. works pretty good i think.

im really liking the neon tights, although i do think the torso hangs out a bit too much. in terms of flabby, maybe an austin torso might work. I'm not very familiar with the midnight express but austin's torso does have a slightly bulky but not ripped look going on there

lets play, guess that next fix up not exactly an iconic gesture by any means, but i'm hoping it'll give the figure some character

This is kinda a teaser right now. I have some aves apoxie ordered and I might try my hand at sculpting thanks to the inspiration from chinese_chicken. I want to sculpt a button down shirt without a tie for suited ADR. If it turns out bad maybe we can work out a trade CC for some work? cool stuff dean, always up for a challenge

great stuff dude, nice pieces all around.
I've got a question, does the paint hold well on the joints when they're moved? one reason why i've been reluctant to do complete paint jobs on the mattel figures is that they tend to chip unless the joints are sanded down first, particularly the pin joints.

Great Gonzo: cheers dude, great to see an old familiar face!
akawildfire: not for sale chum. I find it kinda amusing that you'd like to purchase a fixup to do more fixups on it. in any case I think you could replicate this pretty easily yourself, apart from the sculpted hands of course
