I have to ask, why is "no priming" such a big deal?

 

Since I do plastic models & miniatures, priming is just a natural thing & very easy thing to do for me. I guess that's why it's not a big deal for me but I had to ask.

I think it's mostly a novelty thing. However, for those of us who prime white (as I do to keep colors bright pre-dip) not having to prime is a very nice feature.

 

Also, I think it's a subtle way of saying to everyone. "yes, these bendy figures will hold paint./primer" thus alaying the fears of anyone who might be skeptical of the paint-holding properties of a rubbery plastic. This is a very real issue to those who may have had exprience with older soft plastic figures (airfix, esci, etc) that didn't take paint as well.

 

I was poking around youtube on some of the Bones reviews and saw that someone had converted the posture/pose of the Bones werewolf (arms as well as feet). How exactly do you do something like this. Bones seem to flex back into their original positions. Is it a matter of heat or glue? I was looking at the clockwork dragon and though I love clockwork the pose makes the figure more ornamental than interactive for me. Which got me wondering how easy it is to change something like that.

 

I've seen that same video. In it he says he converted them using greenstuff. Many figures can be reposed, but if you're not going to use putty, then you're limited to figures that have obvious strait joints, usually because of clothes or armor joins. Luckily alot of the figures have armor, or clothes that end at elbows, or wrist wraps, or any of the other things that make it easy to cut and reposition without having to putty the join.

 

You can do some bending with just heat and cold, but that's mostly good for correcting bent weapons and such. You're not going to be able to do much to really change the pose without getting out the knife and glue, and possibly some putty.

Yeah, it is good to know these hold paint better than other PVC types. I've painted Smurfs and a Monster-in-my-Pocket. The monster did the worst, as it didn't take paint very well and it looks rather horrible (which was probably partly due to my skill at the time xD). The smurfs did alright, but they are still kinda sticky.

That was the first thing that popped into my head too... glad somebody said it!

[Thes Hunter]

Is it me... or are we 1/4 of the way towards our next goal, after about only 2 hours since the last one?

[joshuaslater]

4 days. I'm going to guess we'll hit 2 million. I haven't even upped my pledge yet!!

Dude, up your pledge if you know you're going to.

[joshuaslater]

I am carrying a friend as well, and we will up the pledge when we know what we want. Considering how much we value our friendship of over twenty years, and many games of Warlord, it's something we're going to sit down and mull over with some Jameson.

 

That's how we roll.

I wasn't planning on adding anything more to my pledge, but that dracolich is tempting! I just don't know if I can find any more money.

It's how everyone should roll.

Was having so much fun on the Kickstarter comments, I figured I should sign up on the forums here too. Hello!

Nice. We have a local distillery that my wife and I visit to restock our whiskey.
