I seriously can't wait. I hope Bandai goes all in. RG has potential to deliver what SMP couldn't for me.
I think this is the first time we've seen pictures of how the backpack looks? It's a little messy which is to be expected. Paint and details look sharp which is good to see.
So I bought a used Duke Fire on ebay awhile back. He was missing that one chest peice of his so I had to make some mods. Also since I don't knowvhow to de-yellow plastics and just gave Duke a new coat of paint. Also some of the clips on his ladder were broken so i used epoxy sculpt to restore it to the best of my ability. Even then it's lose fit. Any advice on how to find missing parts for him and to make sure the later fits tighter? (Pics to come later my android is acting up.)
I like the fact he's enthusiastically singing the Da-garn op track.while assembling the kit. That brought a smile to my face
Nicely done! You can also use hydrogen peroxide and sunlight to whiten plastic. There’s a lot of tutorials online if you have any parts you still want to whiten.
Isnt that only temporary? Ive heard cases where it yellows really quickly after whitening. Evolution Toy. Id recommend staying away. They are known for 2 things. Being expensive and bad quality. Particularly bad in their transforming/combining toys.
I wouldn’t say quickly. I’ve done it to quite a few pieces and while over the years I’ve seen some of it return it wasn’t rapid in my case and never returned to the severity before. Though I don’t doubt that’s been the case for others.
I think this is a pretty good example of what I tend to see as results. My Victory Leo came in really gross and yellowed and I was able to clean him up really well. He looks great when you’re looking at ALL of him but when you look at his wings next to his bicep you can see the yellowing still persisting. He’s held this condition for a good amount of years without worsening.
