God knows, i know they banned it in Europe a while back due to some chemical, but they sorted that. I spent a few weeks looking for some and in the end gave up and got the bottle, used with an airbrush it is actually better than the rattle can as you have more control

Yeah toluene buddy , squadron putty also has it in too.
Hmmmm so the bottled stuff is good?
Does it smell like the rattle can as I do not have an extractor fan , also do you need to clean the airbrush with thinners once finished?

Humbrol matte is what is use at the moment really good but makes white marks on black for some reason.

Yeah it is, you need to make sure your airbrush is good and clean or it will reactivate any paint clogged in it and spray specks everywhere (learnt from experience lol) and a good clean after use. It smells the same but not as strong and the smell dissipates much quicker

Yep, its got a hot toys body in it, minus the forearm which is hiding somewhere

Awesome what body did you use? And you think it would be better to cut hands and use hot toy hands?

i think it was true type advanced, yeah it would be better with hot toys hands so you would actually be able to move them, i think he could do with different boots as the original ones look a bit small.
i had to cut the suit at the back to get it off, smeared some Vaseline inside the suit, took the lower arms of and it slips on pretty easily

Use a hair dryer to soften the head of dip in boiling water.
I tried pulling it off dry and the head just stretched:rotfl
