How well does enamel or acrylic paints take to it? In terms of making figures from it, how about wear and tear on points of articulation? How about other things like props, weapons, etc? How well does it take to glue? __________________ ~~~{==========- Death at Midnight -==========}~~~

It take to super glue very well and is easy to paint and cut, but them again I used tin snips and a games-work shop plastic cutter snips __________________ Tracker's Pictures

I was lucky to have some cylinders from, a larp sword making hobby, that was the right height. but i think you can make the cylinders by cutting up some 1/2 inch CPVC pipes that base of the chair is made from used game cards __________________ Tracker's Pictures Last edited by Tracker : 02-02-2010 at 12:33 AM.

How fast does the plastic go? __________________ The United States will conquer Terrorism with the help of God and a few Marines. Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.
