I have paint rub issues in joints because I'm fairly new to custom work. What is VHT? (What do people normally use to stop this problem?) And should a person be using enamel paints or can they use acrylic and get away with it? I was in Hobby Lobby and enamel paints come oen by one and are much more expensive. Lovely figure btw.

VHT Vinyl Spray is what I use to make joints black, since black is usually less garish than whatever neon color they are originally. I'll send a link. Use the part number to have your local auto shop store to order it for you. It comes in a few colors, I've only used black and white though.

It doesn't rub off because it's dye, but you have to thoroughly prep the plastic surface by scrubbing it and lightly sanding it with fine grit if possible, to let the dye soak in as much as possible. Using it feels like using any spray paint.

However, if I absolutely have to color the hard disc in a joint, I disassemble the joint and modify it so parts don't rub.

We have a bunch of tutorials here on the site to help you. "Shoulder Joint Protection" and "Eliminate Paint Rub" are very useful.

Regarding enamel, I don't know what to believe. People on here say they use enamel with no problems and others say it makes their figures sticky. I use acrylic because it dries faster and I've never had issues with it.

Very cool armored Moon Knight! I am in constant admiration of folks that can pull off a super clean white paint job. I hate working with white almost as much as yellow. Yellow can erotically embrace many parts of the human body I don't think I should mention in a friendly comment. I gotta say also, that is an ingenious idea using Lego pieces to attach the cape. Not only very effective, but makes a pleasing harness link with the cape removed. Very nice work, Dr.

Cool! Yeah that Cap body always looks nice!

Looks great. Cool conversion, and I like the cape-less look. However, not a fan of that hood you used. For some reason, it reminds me of little house on the prairie . But very cool custom nonetheless.

I can't win, if I had sculpted it to mesh perfectly with the neck thing then the head wouldn't be able to move at all. You can raise the neck thing to butt up against the hood though, to erase the gap.

agreed. hoods are tough to pull of in a way that both makes them look good and keeps articulation. anyway, nice job on this!

Buhuhu now all I see is one of those hats with earmuffs

Muff Knight

lol

And just like that one of Doc's creations leaves the sticky WIP list & joins the finished ranks! Looks good & I totally agree on Cap's versatile design!

Bad ass Moon Knight!!!! He looks tough!!!

I like everything but the cowl. Need to get an actual cowl for MK.

Maybe, I dunno. Took the hood design cue from the recent MK outfit, looks exactly like it.

I like the capeless tactical ninja look for this figure more though, he looks more GI Joe than superhero.
