    I was aware but saw a few videos with people using it for casting and thought I'd have a see for myself. In theory the acetone should combine well enough with the silicone sealent so it leaves it runny, doesn't touch the object itself and evaporates off but It's a no from me

    Just wondering, have you tried bluestuff or oyamaru for mold making on
    small bits?

    RTV is excellent though, just expensive.

    I'm aware of it yeah, was on my list of options but I think pourable is the way to go. The silicone sealent and cornflour and sealent and acetone were moreso just cheap experiments while I'm waiting for orders to arrive.

    So far I've gotta say playdough gets good resultsfor push moulding on anything but faces

    Heh, nice one - though to be pedantic, in the comics at least he's not technically from Weapon X but a different, related project but anyway - TBH I might just stick with Deadhead. It's a name that's been associated with Deadpool in comic titles and possibly in comics (and I think he calls his comic fans that too when he's breaking the fourth wall) and Deadhead just seems to be some human guy from the G1 comics who I've never heard of and it's not like Hasbro have never re-used names for different characters before :D 
    Though, another one I'm toying with is Negasonic xD

    Murk was my first response as a play on Merc but then found thats the name of Octone’s TM, could use the different spellings, not like there haven’t been examples of Transformers having the same name after all

    As below, skylynx is a great suggestion. Your titan collection isn't complete without the commanders jetfire and skylynx.

    Jaffa Cake doughnuts are a bit nice :) 

    Ronaldo continues his one man mission to keep Ole in a job, even in a shite team he can't stop scoring.

    Pogba's return to the side lasted 67 minutes and he gave the ball away so often I wanted Fred to replace him, he was that bad :D 

    Got a message from a friend around half time saying he's had his invoice for Snake Eyes and Timber but waiting for a reply to my question as I'm not sure where he ordered from.

    BulletWADEr because with all Triggerhappy's machine-gun spree-shooting he probably has to a lot?

    Actually had to take a mini-screwdriver to my pot of yellow green as it had ended up rather sealed but it was worth it...

    Mossy Dino-bones can have a little a highlights, as a treat.
    Think I've mastered spongin', Lads, turns out dabbing from a wee improv palette is better than just charging with paint!

    What is it with me and green robots though, eh?

    @GrahamFA: I’d also rank siege Jetfire right up there as one of my best tf’s.

    @SJW @rikkomba: not content with having a megabolt megatron, I also got a MISB megabolt. It could be me seeing something that isn’t there but despite having never been opened, that swirly gold plastic looks as though it has very fine hairline cracks :(

    One more experiment while I wait for the silicone, this is clear slicione sealent throughly washed in cold water with lots of washing up liquid. Let's see what result we get with this cw dead-end head

    Isn't he part of Weapon X in Liefeld's original story? Maybe I'm just thinking of that terrible Wolverine movie.

    May just be me but that card & megabolt looks like it has been exposed to direct sunlight for a while whilst on display.

    Poss heat / uv related checking of the paint. It's been a long time since i had one but i don't recall it is gold plastic, rather it is painted.
