Those are some great repaints. I am leaning towards buying a Emma Frost Bust ard remodeling her into a Catwoman (since all the sideshows ones are gone now...) Those works of your have indeed inspired me. Thanks for sharing.

I am also in awe of the way you paint the eyes on these kits. You mentioned that you painted 5 minute epoxy over the alien's eyes. My experience with 5 minute epoxy is that it typically sets with lots of bubbles locked in. How do you keep it bubble-free?

For epoxy eyes, did you use vacuum chamber to get any bubbles out before it set?

I just use a brush , and make a thin layer , and when I add. More on the iris I pop most of the bubbles with brush before I add it on , it is a bit tricky , if you add a big ass glob there will be bubbles

WOW! What a difference! That eye was not good :? Your new eye looks so realistic! And very scarey.

A fantastic job and he looks brand new :)

The alien eyes are one of the best ever painted.
Gizmo is absolutely beautiful and awesome.
Well done, even on all the others!
