Just arrived... here... we go...

So nervous

 

That's the right stuff.

 

Don't be nervous. It's hard to screw up. Worst case, it just doesn't work. Well I guess the worst case is you end up with future everywhere but that'd be hard to do accidentally.

 

I dropped it in multiple lege joints. On the hips it is tight like a tiger. But on the knees, it hasn't quite stiffened yet. If I let it set and try some more later, would it work?

 

I usually apply it before bedtime. Work it into the joint then go to sleep. By morning the future will be cured.

 

Well I ...

Yes, that. Though I usually give it 24 hours but I guess I don't know that it needs that long. I just never tried it after just 8.

If it doesn't work in one application, I'm not sure. The only thing I've ever tried it on where one application wasn't enough was Combiner Wars Devastator's elbow. Never did get it to stiffen enough to hold his arm up but that's a pretty damn flimsy joint so it might just be more than the future can handle.

 

24 hours. That is a long time to suppress my inner child.

 

Ha! Tell me about it. It's even worse when painting: 24 hours to cure before I can apply masking tape and paint the next section, then, if I need to do any more masking and painting, it's another 24 hours. And patience is really really not one of my strong points.

 

The pink azalea might arrive in the next week or so.

Want to prepare for any loose pins

What alternatives to pledge revive are there for people who don't have it in their country. Closest I could find was a yellow Pledge Wood Magic Liquid Floor Cleaner .

Would acrylic gloss hobby paint be as long lasting? Or would it not seep in the joint?

Also what are some painting tips for someone with giant ham hands? I'd like to give her a better smile, but don't want to mess up

 

Mmc ocular Max makes some floppy toys it seem. My liger was a floppy mess, hellion too. Now this?!

 

Perhaps getting someone with smaller nimble hands to do it? Haha jp. I would recommend masking off the area with tape.

Yeah, I only have floppy joints on the diecast parts. 90 percent of her legs are diecast.

 

And lots and lots of practice.

 

Sadly with such a small area, taping would be just as big of a pain. Freehand is the way to go.

Couldn't agree more. Good brushes and practice. I still haven't redone the smiling face. The mold is off. You have to paint on top of molded details (think: teeth where her bottom lip is molded) for a better appearing smile.

 

Got my Azalea.

The hands are better than I thought.

Everything is tight on her when it comes to her joints.

 

Swappable hands, not exactly the worst option.

 

If the hand was articulated, I would have called this perfect.

 

Well I mean yeah but the fact that the sculpt looks good and you at least have good and different options is enough for me.

 

I'm fine with the hands... For the most part. The articulated fingers aren't completely needed but actual hinges in the wrists are sorely lacking.

 

The only problem I have is that I wish there was a set of peace hands and hands with the fingers together but bent back.
