Hello board,
I finished converting and painting a DOTM Deluxe Specialist Ratchet into Ironfist using Wheeljack's Shapeways kit.
I still consider myself a relative n00b in the customizing department and I didn't sand the edges down before painting. It's a tight transformation, but it does work. I had the biggest trouble, however in the shoulder joint. It is held together with pins and I am wondering if there is a way to sand it down without learning how to take pins out. Pictures of one of the shoulder joints are included below, and I will put photos of the entire repaint job in a new thread in the TF section.'
The last question I have is, can Future floor polish be used as a sealing agent? If this has been discussed on another post, can it be pointed out for me?
