1/6 ART Figures AF-019 Crazy Racer

[P.]

interested to see how this turns out.

well nothing interesting actually, i just need to assemble two bunker humans to help my Reese against two future terminators. no dioramas, like in Dogville.

your Mad Max is very dirty, i need to ask you how to do that effect on clothes and especially leather is it just white paint with lots of water? that's one of my hopes, as i never managed to do cool weathering that would be seen on photos.

No white.

Vallejo paints.

Mahogany Brown 70846
Dark Grey 70994 (just a bit)
Sand Yellow 70916

mixed with water. Thats the way I got it.

Do some tessts on other fabrics you sure have lying around. Good luck.

thanks! so still paints mixed with water. will try it.
did a nice job once with rubbing a T-800 leather suit with fingers put into boneskull paint/water mix, glad there is a way to improve it to look good.

I used acrylic paints and water on this guy. It works great. ...but now that AF and VTS did it he's off the work table

Which Hardy sculpt is that?

 

[slikkerias]

Not sure who made the sculpt. Bought it unpainted on eBay for $20 a while back when I wanted to work on this one. Pretty good one.
Here's the one without mask:

Interesting. I hadn't seen that one before. I used Rahmier's modded DAM toys sculpt for my custom. I think you may have used the same leathers as I did.


How's the Art Figures body? I've looked into grabbing one for customs and wondered if it's better than your average eBay KO body.

I like the underlying body quite a bit. It's got a nice range of movement and tight joints that hold a pose well. The only con, and this might just be mine, is that it's really squeaky when I move it.

I like to hear it has tight joints. Tell me, does it use proprietary wrist pegs?

I snapped a wrist peg right out of the box and I haven't been able to replace it. It definitely won't fit Hot Toys or Sideshow pegs.

If anyone can tell where I can get a replacement peg, I'd sure appreciate it!

I used hot toys pegs when i snapped mine. Only a very slight wiggle where it attaches to the body.

If you want a little snug, just wrap a little tape at the end of a HT peg, it'll be fine...

Awesome, buddy. Thank you for the insight.

I'm glad you got a replacement peg worked out! As a little warning to everyone for some reason with this release art toys has some weak wrist pegs. I was told this ahead of time with the first video review where the guy snapped his wrist peg so props to him. Knowing this I used a hair dryer to change the hands with ease and I suggest you all do the same to avoid any issues

Art's jacket is well worth getting for the pad setup. Dye the pad and repaint, looks perfect for the real Max.

That's a nice looking Max you got. But that part in bold........

Lmao killjoy. Perfect response.

Gosh I was so close to biting that bait!

 

[slikkerias]

Anyone know if AF or VTS plan on releasing other characters from Fury Road?

Dammit, I don't need Joe, I need Furiosa!
