All that is missing is a picture of Hardtop and Toll Booth pissing themselves in fright.

Liking the stickers a lot. They give him just another layer of realism.

How goes the head? (He says in a way completely free of euphemisms.)

I made a casting of the head, poured the Hydro . . .and it turned to sludge. So the first upsizing attempt failed. Not sure why, but I'm going to re pour it tonight. If it happens again, I'll have to buy another batch of Hydrospan.

John, the little bits in there are making this thing into a work of art --

this is so cool -- well done, man!

I swapped out the vinyl stickers for these silver and black etched ones. I think they're a better overall fit. Plus they're a touch smaller . . .

New stickers are much nicer.

Pardon me if you mentioned it, but are you going to paint/weather the gloves?

Keenan · **Posted:** Thu Aug 14, 2008 9:43 pm

I tried, but the paint wouldn't stick- it was a mess. Though the head is going to be silver and black, so that should tie it together. At least that's the plan. Thanks for the comments, B-man.

What about a coat of matte clearcoat to cut down the "newness" of the gloves a bit?

Or just go beat 'em around the dirt a bit. ;-)

What about attempting a RIT dye for the gloves?

New stickers are much better.

I liked the older purple ones better, but I agree that they look a little more weathered...

John, have you checked out that new Rustoleum 'Universal' spraypaint? -- it's supposedly engineered to adhere to anything, even glass -

Keenan · **Posted:** Fri Aug 15, 2008 10:40 am

We're a Rustoleum dealer, so I've had that stuff months ago- DID NOT adhere to the soft plastics. :verymad:

As for the gloves, I'm going to wait and see how they look once the head is on.
I'm on my third attempt now- not going too well :-/
