Carts Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 This is a re-paint of my first ever vinyl kit,Bought it from Thunderbooks in Blackpool in 88,I can remember how weird it seemed,a model that needed a hairdryer,superglue and no enamel paints! I was well out of my comfort zone! The original pose was rather static so I have repositioned the right arm and leg to try to give Murphy a more dynamic pose,The base is a home made job. I enjoyed re-visiting this Vintage figure. And remember "Stay out of trouble" 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowman Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Yeah, the first movie was the best.👍 Now back to the figure, a great rendition of the original! Was it difficult to paint the vinyl, any special preps? Did you use airbrush or hairy stick or a combo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carts Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 It was initially given a grey acrylic base coat then,if memory serves i used enamels for the silver and black,for the repaint i added ink washes of purple and blue green,thinned with klear,repainted the face and added dark washes to certain areas.

spruecutter96 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) "Stay out of trouble!" An absolute classic, sci-fi movie.... It's a real shame the recent re-boot was so watered-down. Excellent painting skills on display here. Thanks for sharing with us. Chris.
