Statue Pablo V. & Andy B. New Sideshow Hulk PF with Variants!!! 1/4 scale !!!

[savageHULK]

Guys, this is hidden deep in the armpit, completely unnoticeable. Should I worry about structural issues? I gave the arm with it a hard tug and tap and it didn't crack or anything.

I mean more of heat getting in there or moisture and then the whole statue collapses one day?... Please help

You May need to worry the poly must be thin there and it may cause cracking later. You just never know.
I finally open mine that arrived last friday and I think it looks pretty good. I am glad I didn't cancel

 

[isculpt]

i would get some apoxie sculpt and fill it, but always email sideshow to see what you can get.mit doesn't look deep though.

 

[sarakawa]

Yea, I would email them about that. Worst case you have to fix it urself but they should at least give you a partial refund.

 

[isculpt]

It looks easily repairable, butmemail sideshow first.

 

[Spidey976]

I wouldn't repair it till SSC responds. Again it is an easy enough repair, but maybe you won't have to

I would say you don't have to worry.. Contact SSC get the partial refund or replacement (I doubt it) and then fill it and color match it with acrylic paint..

Unless your home goes from extreme cold to extreme warm I don't think you have to worry.

 

[JAWS]

I have those rules. I will not have more than one of any character. That's rule #1.

Yeah! That is my rule also! :LOL





That was my rule... But I made an exception for Hulk... and my JAWS collection of course. I could see doing the same for Batman. Oh and Indiana Jones :LOL

 

[Erndog]

Man, King Hulks head looks so small and disproportionate in that pic! Lol

Awesome display though! Great looking collection

Not typically. It can get low enough to snow and upwards of 110 degrees in summer here, but it's gradual.

I would not repair this because I have no air brush and would not know what paint to use. I would ask for a replacement only. Unless you do customs I wouldn't mess with it imo.

 

[Josh-A-Tron]

You wouldn't airbrush an area that small unless you intend to use a ton of epoxy sculpt. I'd take a small needle and fit epoxy sculpt into the hole, take a finger sander and make sure it's level then color match the small area with a good grade acrylic paint and use a small/micro brush and light paint the area. then take a small dab of matte finish and go over the paint to seal it.

it sounds like a lot but really it's not.

iI you don't want to sand it, use aves apoxie sculpt. It thins with the aves solvent or water and can be easily blended. for that size repair, you can just buy the smallest size which will run you about 10 bucks on ebay.

Steps:
1.Buy Aves Apoxie sculpt in .1lb or 1/4 lb size on ebay, should run you about 10 bucks.
2. Mix equal parts of each ingredient (you get parts A&B that you have to knead together) for the approriate amount needed.
3. Use a small spatula sculpting tool that can be bought at Michaels, and blend and flatten the mixed apoxie sculpt into the hole.
4. Use either Aves solvent or water and a brush to smooth and blend the apoxie sculpt into the crevice and statue, remove any excess.
5. Allow 48 hrs to cure.
6. Color match the paint, then paint the small area. Doesn't have to be perfect cuz no one is gonna see the armpit.
7. Get a spray can of clear matte finish, spray onto a small dish. Then use a small brush to apply it to that area.
Voila!

Wow that's way too much work if I was to do it. It's not that I don't want to do it. But more so I will screw up and color matching? That can only be done by the pros. I have no idea how to match colors unless it's white or black. Then gloss? Knowing myself I might have put matte or a high gloss on it and cannot undo it. Just way to risky for people with no custom expierence imo. Replacement would be the best option I would say. If your a pro then do it!

 

[isculpt]

The color match hardly needs to be perfect due to it being the armpit.

Here's a ton of pictures of mine.

Yep. Id be more concerned about doing a clean job with the epoxy sculpt and thats not that difficult.

Here's a ton of pictures of mine.

Congrats!
