    Mirico Collectibles (Singapore) - News

    Gorgeous! It'll take a delicate touch (which I don't have!) or some infinitely patient airbrushing (same thing again!) to get the skin tones right. Still...I might take a shot.

    Meanwhile in Russia...

    Oh, that last photo just cries out to be done as an armor project... Let's see...I wonder if I can find a cheap T-34 on eBay?

    Vinyl kits and safety?

    Use a tiny amount of the expanding foam as that stuff EXPANDS! If you're not very careful, the foam will expand and swell the parts. I thought I used a small amount in an 'Ambassador Spock' figure - it looked like 'Jabba the Hutt' when the foam finished expanding. A little bit, let it fully...

    Vinyl kits and safety?

    Some folks use a respirator when airbrushing acrylic paints - I don't, but I paint in a well-ventilated area. If you use other paints, plan accordingly. Given the size of these kits, an airbrush is a necessity to properly paint skin tones, shading and highlighting. I've used a Badger Sotar and...

    Vinyl kits and safety?

    Are you talking about a hollow-cast large-scale figure? If so, a heat gun or hair dryer is your friend to soften the vinyl to cut it. You can use hot water, but it's cumbersome. Be very, very careful cutting. Always use a new blade and for God's sake, watch how you cut as there are 'hard'...

    Love Rooster! I'll have to get that! Since you nailed Jeff Bridges - what about 'The Dude' from 'The Big Lebowski'? After all, 'the Dude abides'...

    The USMC 'big set' has been out for a couple of years, so it's not 'news'. Evolution does make some excellent figures.

    WIP Pegaso Templar, 90mm

    That's nice! I have the figure, but I keep looking at the hood and trying to figure out (pun intended) how to put it together and putty the seam without screwing up any painting of the face I might do. Did you do anything special to make it look so good?

    Using alcohol based and calligraphy inks

    That's extremely interesting. I'll have to look into the videos. I've had a few inks for a while, but never had the courage to use them. I like the spot marbling effects.

    A question about Culluclay...

    I'd go with the white glue, a little dark brown acrylic paint and not a lot of water; you want a thickened oatmeal consistency - that always worked for me. I don't apply it very thick, either. I've had some 20+ years and it still works.
