Non Neon Sci-Fi :-)
« on: June 23, 2013, 04:46:34 PM »
I don't like neon colour. So, no Tiger Force, no Airtight, no Sci-Fi figs in my collection... until today :-) I put a 1986 Sci-Fi into Black Rit dye. I was expecting a more even result. But, at least, it's no more neon. Bottom line, it looks more like a camo green. And, the silver is still silver. I love it!



Before someone ask, I don't have a specific reason for Double Clutch's head... except that I had one in hands  ;)

Since I still have Sci-Fi's head, I might dremel it so I can give mine a removable helmet. But, that's another project!

... maybe Sci-Fi V2 or Sci-Fi V3 head could have been a better choice. Anyone has one?

@martin, you should really consider painting instead of dying ;-)

For some reason, your choice of words reminded me of this old advertisement....  ;)
