    If I never have to paint yellow again it will be too soon.

    Probably around 15 or so very thin coats. Spent around 4 days on it.

    Wish I had your sculpting talent. You make great customs. I dabble but nothing near as well. I have seen some really nice ones on ebay also. If only hasbro would hurry along and give us these figures.

    Well I think I have a good vehicle for my GI Joe Classified on the Cobra side.... and it's a mega cannon batmobile that first off make sure one of my figures would fit and if they pass that test i'm going to paint that thing up into a Cobra Rage in the black and blue color scheme since I have this fondness with that color combo. This would be "fun".

    Favor to ask.

    Could I get a card height and width measurement from you on those new retro carded Joes? I'm loosing patience waiting on Wallyword to ship the first 3 fugures, if the sizes don't work I might just collect the retro vehicles.

    In short, I'm looking for an excuse to cancel the 1st three and most likely the 2nd three as well. The 1st three are in the "delayed check back later" status just like the Ashoka Black series wave.

    Bravo. Great patience! I’m having that problem with an orange I’m trying to play with.

    Orange is terrible. It probably took close to 20 coats for my custom Overlord’s torso.

    Thanks a lot, I will definitely have to compare them with the retro vehicles.

    I'm guessing that these are probably in line with the old 25th cards?

    Thanks again.

    So Gung Ho is pretty cool, but damn that grenade launcher is a bitch to get into his hands.

    I gave the launcher to my Deadpool 2 Cable. Works better and fits better in the hands for him there.
