They weren't, but the added alot of character to the figure, especially in the head. I'm not skilled enough yet to have intentionally manipulated the drip patterns. There's two or three in the feet that weren't ideal, but the head drips made a pretty cool burst effect.

I think that they are just part of the issues he had when doing this, as his first time painting the inside rather than the outside. Here's a bit from the original thread in the custom sectio

I wanted to try painting the figure from the inside, since I really like the figure and wanted to be able to still handle it and play with it afterward without worrying about damaging the custom paint. I kept the paint scheme simple, and found that painting figures from the inside is hugely difficult… I had some problems with the paint sticking, and then beading up, as well as running, as evident in a few places, but overall I’m happy with how the figure came out. The lips and mouth and eye were painted from the outside.

Yeah, like I said, they were not in purpose, as this was the first figure I painted from the inside, but they did not turn out bad. The person who almost bought this liked the 'hand-made' feel it gave the figure :lol: The colors came out really nice tho, and I think it's a great 'friendly' looking Zag.

Thanks, I'm actually just about to start work on a large commission, and have been amassing RxH and M1GO blanks.

Post Re: Clear Zagoran Custom- Sprayed Inside
Just a couple of quick tips for inner spray to avoid runs: first, before you paint try wiping off the inside of the vinyl with a paper towel. There's usually some run-off from the oils in the vinyl that have a tendency to build up on the inside and can cause drips in your paint (particularly if the figure was assembled right after the vinyl was pulled). Then, instead of using one thick coat use several thin coats. That will minimize the possibility of runs. If you notice your paint beading up on the inside (it looks like its sweating) that means there are still some oils on the inside of the vinyl. You might want to use some acetone/thinner to knock off the paint you applied, wipe it down (or even wash it out with some mild soapy water and let it dry) and then try again.

Good luck on your customs!

One other thing: that paint job would probably look good with a dark rub on the outside to highlight the scales and downplay some of the inconsistencies in the inner coat. Just an idea!

I posted it up here because I had someone lined up to buy it and backed out... it wasn't expressly made to sell, but since I had one interested person I figured I'd jut test the waters.

Thanks for the support Lee. The price was already agreed upon by another member, so that was the obvious choice to try and re-list it publicly. All I'm gonna do with the money is buy more toys anyway :lol:

'brainers have been a tough crowd ever since I can remember....
Just enjoy toys, customizing, & whatever else you do.
Some folks here like my stuff, some don't; but either way I'm here to stay. (because I don't have a blog)

What are the rules?
Unlike many BBS sites, we expect that you are fairly adult enough
to take care of yourself, so we only have a few hard fast rules:

1. Don’t be a jerk. If you are a jerk, at least be a charming jerk.

2. Flame wars suck, you will both get tossed.

3. No porn or [expletive deleted]’s. Please keep that dirty little secret to yourself.

4. If you post anything, you are inviting commentary. Therefore, accept the
responses positive or negative without being a baby.

5. Stay on topic. Don’t post wanted threads in RxH, your latest custom in
Secret Base, etc.

6. Rolling eyes mean sarcasm, I think…

What are the unwritten rules?

Ah, the plot thickens. If I tell you, then they aren’t really unwritten rules are they? They aren’t that hard to figure out if you just read and watch the board for a while, but in the meantime there are a few pointers that may help you.

1. We don’t expect new kids to know everything, but we expect you to at least put in the effort. The search function is your friend. Use it before you ask a question that has already been answered.

2. There are reasons we don’t talk about certain subjects, and there are other places to yap about that stuff. Head there for that kind of talk, don’t try and bring it here.

3. Learn what sarcasm is on the board and develop a thick skin, or you won’t like it here.

4. Selling and re-selling – this is important. You need to read the flipping thread.

5. Off-site links – remember where you are before you go posting links. Don’t poop where you eat unless you plan on eating poop.

6. Yes, everyone here is a jerk, we already know that though.

7. If you wouldn’t say it in real life, don’t say it here.

8. Don’t offer a brand new toy that was just released in trade for a really old rare toy or prepare to feel the wrath. You would think this is obvious but you would be surprised.

9. Please don't post auction links, it only causes problems. Let people find them on their own.

10. Please don't post lottery links, it only causes problems. Let people find them on their own.
