Here's where they're at now. Most of the base paint it on them, just waiting a few days now for the whole cure thing. The first pic shows actual, and 2nd pic shows where I still need to add color work etc..Although my actual color scheme is still up i nthe air on the Mirage one. He wanted him to be silver though, so, he's silver.
These show the slight head mold adjustments I made, mostly just trimming down parts, removing the lense from the Windcharger head etc. I wanted to take a lot off the Mirage head, that thing is way bulky. I cut off the ears/horns, and cut down that front forehead piece and the little slot above his nose. Windcharers, I just basically flattened the top of his head.
Re: Alt Reflector with both Mirage and Windcharger
Thanks, and no, it's just the Krylon Silver (non plastic bond) the same type that I used for the Steeljaw..And it bonds just fine too. I've had no chipping whatsoever, even after just 2 days.
Re: Alt Reflector with both Mirage and Windcharger
Ok, here's the update, and here's about where I'm stuck..I'm running out of general ideas as to how to get these guys to look more like who they're supposed to be..Reflector. The Windcharger figure works much better for the color scheme than the Mirage. I still need to add the stripes to Mirage, but as I'm looking at it, the purple paint I've used that matches the cartoon Refelctor, doesn't so much so work for the contrast it needs to look nice.I'd really like some ideas if anyone has them. I'd also like to do the Real Gear camera guy, but I'd need more funding to go and buy those 2 guys for them. I've figured if I use the camera guy on Mirage, his chest piece folds back over to his back, and there is a screw right there that can work for monting. And the Windcharger mold has 2 little holes that can have a peg go into there for monting it. So, we'll see..But, more so, I want color info, if anyone has ideas.
