I used a wash made of future acrylic floor finish. One part future to four parts water, plus whatever color you want to use. It seems to pull itself into the grooves better than a regular wash. This one was very time consuming though.

Reprolabels is what got the ball rolling on this one.

I'm really flattered about the Hasbro UK thing, but this is just a hobby for me. I've found out that nothing kills a hobby faster than doing it day in and day out. I used to be very into aquariums. I worked at a pet store stocking shelves for six years, then went up to management, and eventually was promoted to be in charge of the live animal half of the store. Before that I had four tanks up and running. A month after taking that position, I was down to one tank at home.

After I was let go, my interest was restored. I have such a good time working on these repaints that I wouldn't want it to become a chore. I do this for myself and have never even put one up on ebay.

Dam that was the UK site, sorry, but I bet it could lead you to the US site :-?

As an artist with no kitbash skills, I've decided to start suporting people with talent in hopes of the good getting better!

Besides, you only have to paint the first one, after that Hasbro has third world children painting them while taking a break from stitching Nikes

Still, I understand, again I am an artist, but career wise I work in a field that touches on the bare minimum of what I love to do so I don't loose intrest in what I love as I pave the way to making said dream a reality.

Plan ahead or fall behind!
