Probably the same culprit behind the silver paint pen, aka: damage fx to Deadpool's red Vespa

Ah, sorry, the mic was off.

Indeed! You need to keep improving. Paint pen, good trick, never to old to learn.

You got it!

Mine was worse than the one in the picture you posted. Some red spray paint soon fixed the issue

Here is my fix using auto paint
The Vespa body work now looks more like metal, which was an accident on my part, as i was only looking to loose the silver paint pen strokes.

There are still signs of weathering showing though

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Your photo review will be highly anticipated.

The difference is DT doesn't have this forced lighting effect on her.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

That is true, this one may be hard to really judge unless your seeing it in person

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Lol but that's mostly base coat. There are multiple levels of highlights and shading applied to the skin afterward. This could potentially be disastrous depending on the factory production. Could also be completely fine and look amazing. It's a waiting game.

If you're worried, wait until you see in-hand photos. I won't be ordering this because I've been burned by the forced shading before.

Very cool of them to take the time to address concerns though as I'm sure they've seen the harsh criticism which can't be easy.
