I warped my first figure today...

It was a fodder figure(Avalanche) so while I wasn't worried...the paint job came out pretty cool. I wanted to do a blood red RANGE-BAT and I suceeded. However when it came to putting the figure back together the legs were all warped so I had to get some new sculpt legs to fill in...

So some advice when dyeing stuff...

-If you stove has simmer or 2...keep it there...anything above will cause the figure to warp.

-Always do cold water in between dye baths...

-When moving to multiple dye baths(yellow is great for bringing out high lights on the figure) let the parts cool down and test them.

I have had that happen, but only on torso pieces thus far. the sides seem to warp inwards. I'll
keep this in mind.

Are you doing new sculpt or RAH? Because I am about the dye some Overkill bodies...

But I really recommend multiple baths..Golden yellow is the most important color to have around if your dyeing a camo figure...

I go with the newer style stuff, it seems to take paint and dye better.
