rosalind14 Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 I'm going to have a go at customising Bigfigs and have ordered a few "cheap" Hulks to have a go on. My only problem - I say "only" because I feel semi confident on the rest - is how to get rid of his hair. Do you sandpaper it down? Has anyone done this before? Thanks! Quote
CustomJoe_MD Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Sandpaper/dremel it down, then mold the shape to a round or flat green top. You can use acetone to clean up the plastic (acetone melts the abs - make sure you use a diluted solution for polishing) If you have gaps or need to fill in any holes/scratches or something, get some green abs parts that match the color and shave some of that into a little glass and pour acetone (the strong drugstore kind on that to make a melty goo paste - once it's all gooey remove with a spoon and fill the area on the fig) And if you want to use cyanoacrylate/super glue and on top on the glue add shavings of lego plastic, you can then rub or paint acetone over that to smooth out the surface. ---------------------------- There is a tutorial on how to do it here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:116571 - Video 4 and 5 if I'm not mistaken are about that (bellow main image) http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:35489 ---renewing spray for abs tutorial ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- my post on this http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=85409entry1663454 There is actually a topic on the acetone+lego to make paintable plastic. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=80574&hl=%2Blego+%2Bacetone+%2Bpaint Edited June 8, 2014 by CustomJoe_MD Quote

Male pattern baldness make Hulk angry. http://nothingbutcomics.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/maestro.jpg http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/4/49974/1962059-hulk_nul.jpg It's not like they (MARVEL) haven't made him bald before or anything. It's not easy being GREEN people, stress is a hair killer. Believe me on that. Edited June 8, 2014 by CustomJoe_MD Quote
