HASBRO AOU 18" Hulkbuster Titan Hero (WITH IN HAND PICS!)

[Ultra-Magnus]

I picked mine up from Ebay cheap since it had a patch that was discolored. I figured it would never be seen anyway.

I just picked one of these 18" Hulkbuster from Walmart on clearance for $11.00 (2-5-16). Origanlly was going for $48.00. This is the one that opens up. Get them while you can.--

Will work on it again next weekend, if my red paint shows up by then I'll be applying it with airbrush

Very nice! Can't wait to see the red on it.
Just remember to thin it out. I use a disposable airbrush just for doing this type of work. The humbrol kit you can get cheap and if it gunks up, bin it and crack open a new one!

Thanks bud, like I said before this is my first attempt at trying anything like this
so who knows whats gonna happen in the end but I had to at least have a go.

thanks for tip mate, I have a humbrol airbrush & a bottle of humbrol thinners coming this week and the gaia clear red (the one from the link you sent) I ordered 3 bottles just in case, coming whenever, the delivery ETA is a bit random, but if it's not here I can start on the gold 'punchy fist things'
I'm learning as I go...

I am not sure of the humbrol thinners will work with the lacquer paint...
Pop by any Boots and pick up a bottle or two of acetone. That's the ticket.

Do you have a quality air brush? I use a Grex. I've tried lots of them but the Grex is easiest to use, great spray and I can use it for hours without hand cramping and whatnot.

update: just ordered some acetone from amazon, I have prime so will be here sharpish thanks again @username
I'm pretty sure this won't be the last time I need to hit you up for tips & info

I can't wait to see yours all done. And it might just be the kick in the pants i need to get mine done!

I was mistaken earlier I've actually ordered the badger 250 It's not something I'll be using much. Just for this project (which I'm calling Project: Veronnica )
If I get the bug then I'll invest in something better.

It's hard to mess this up. Just go with light coats. And build it up slow.
