Any suggestions on where to buy eye decals? Lol. The EX head is spot on, but it should be given that it doesn’t have to resemble that perfect human REG proto face.

I’ve never tampered with or altered a statue before, but I need to do it on this one. The eyes, left eye in particular, are the main thing that bothers me. I guess deep down, I knew that prototype face could never be achieved at the factory.

You could ask the Kuwaiti fishmonger who made his fish look fresher by doing this. I hear he's looking for a job.

I mean, is it even worth the effort to fix something you shouldn't have to fix? If it were me, I'd be sending this back for a full refund.

These are water slide decals that need to be cut from the sheet. They are very delicate and are not easy to work with. Something like Microscale Liquid Decal film can be used to strengthen the decals. The decals should sealed with a clear gloss acrylic.

I've used the Archer transfers before. They're a little tough to work with but look fantastic when done right.

Amen!

I’m about ready to cancel my Rogue preorder. I’ve been trying to avoid all the hullabaloo going on in her thread but it’s hard to avoid. They can nail QC on drek like pizza slicer Batman but fail so hard with lesser known characters that deserve to shine.

I’m sure Mythos Tree Sloth Alien will be top notch.

The production piece portrait looks horrible.
