Re: Sanding joints
I posted a tutorial in the Tricks of the Trade section showing how I do it with the dremel. It doesn't leave any visible marks, you can just use a knife too.

As for heatguns, I think even the lowest setting on those is enough to melt plastic, the hairdryer on high is your best bet for simple things like reshaping the jacket. If its not working then maybe you just have a low power hairdryer?

I'll take a look for it in there. Thanks!

My hairdryer has two settings, but I don't know if the highest is really enough to realign the molecules or not because most objects end up reverting to their original shape after a while when I've tried this.

Good looking figure, wheres the jacket from? It makes her look like a real-life version

Don't bother sanding joints, it takes forever and just hurts your hands.

A faster way to do it is just disassemble the figure, then use a rotary tool to grind away a millimeter or two of plastic off the areas that are rubbing.

Also, maybe it's too late now, but if you want the jacket to be more form fitting, try heating it up, squeezing it at the waist, then hit it with cold water so it keeps the hourglass shape

Yeah, the sanding was definitely a royal pain. I tried the sand paper just to try to get smoother curves, but the Dremel would have been a LOT faster and probably about the same results. The jacket and biceps/upper arms are from the Hunger Games Rue figure from a couple of years ago roughly. I REALLY want to get a heat gun instead of just my hair dryer to try reshaping those jacket pieces better. Great idea! Thank you!

Love it!

Thank you! I am glad the part selection seems to have been well received.

Perfect Jim Lee era Rogue! Her face and hair look especially good.

Thanks, B/H! I worked from 3 Jim Lee pics while tinkering on her. I wanted her to look as close to authentic as I could get her.

Gorgeous!

It's that Carol Danvers head. Hasbro did a GREAT job on her sculpt!

Beautiful Rogue!

Thank you
