Ironclad of the U-Foes (Marvel Legends) Custom Action Figure
Would like to start off saying that the paint was inspired by Santanaz's silver surfer, could not find what he used, so went out on a limb. This is one of my favorite Hulk villians and one of his greatest team foes, Ironclad. If you don't know their backstory, they did research into the Fantastic Four's mission and decided to intentionally fly into cosmic rays for longer than the FF4. When their ship crashed back down to earth they had been changed and given new abilities. Ironclad is one mean mother and can go toe to toe with the hulk, more so than thing. Well to get to the receipe, I used a House of M Hulk for the fig except the head is a Mr. Fixit. I added sculpt to the waist, belt, legs, arm bands and head. Then I tried something completely different than normal and used an auto silver/chrome spray paint. I will never do this again, not because it did not work, but had 2 silver surfers I was working on and it rained on them before they finished and they will never be the same. This is a powerful paint and does not come off easily, so if you make a mistake, sorry (very unforgiving). As usual views, comments and criticism appreaciated, thanks for the support.   Please wait... |

You mentioned that one thing that helped was to get a soft cloth and buff the fig to get excess spray dust off and it also gives it a better sheen.
Is the buffing done in between coats?
Thank you
the comment I'm flattered, but as I sent a picture of the painting that I use? congratulations
