Leveling paper questions

Leveling paper questions

My leveling paper has developed warped edges. Will this affect my leveling process? I could use regular paper according to old reddit threads, but there's a level of finesse required when leveling where you have to ensure the paper is still loose after leveling.

I'd prefer the consistency this paper provides, but im unsure if the papers ripples will cause issues.

Any New On This Guy?

Listing says it ships "on july." Should say in July, but wither way, idk if I can trust it. I trust treasure toys, but there isn't a single prototype Pic OR a finished product. I really want that face plate in the top right.

Should I cancel?

Should I cancel or wait for them to cancel? I've heard they're reputable. When this gohan got announced for reproduction, treasure toys were the first one to list it. As a matter of fact, I was so early I was the last pre-order they had in stock.

For weeks, I have been checking that listing to see if anything had changed. The stock changed, but not the price or anything else, so I didn't cancel my pre-order and re-order. Now I check, and the listing is completely gone. And idk if canceling will negatively impact me on Ali. I've heard it makes it to where sellers won't sell to you? Would that be the case if I canceled a pre-order?

Paint and clear coat suggestions

I need help with what paint or clear coat to use for this sh figuart vegeta. Mainly the clear coat, though. I got an airbrush and thinned some citadel paint with vallejo air brush thinner. Used more citadel for the shading. Looked really nice, and I used ts80 tamiya flat clear for the clear coat.

​

I let the acrylic paint cure for 24 hours and the ts80 cure for 72. However, it rained on the night of hour 48. Granted, it may have even needed a week. Regardless, the paint chipped around the friction areas. Shoulder blades and joints, despite going thin with the paint. I see people do customs of these figure, and they dont seem to have chipping issues. Is it the paints? Cure time? Clear coats? Or all of the above?

​

I used some modge podge (like the goop) on another custom, and it feels more secure even though ts80 is supposed to be harder and higher end. Maybe modge podge is more flexible.

​

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SSJ4 Gogeta Custom

In light of all the 3rd party SSJ4 Gogeta releases, I thought I'd share my hack at the character. I made this custom about a year ago now. This was before I got into 3rd party figs, and I just assumed a ssj4 gogeta would never be made. At least, not made by sh figuarts. So, I made my own.

Thought I'd give him one more moment in the sun before he's phased out and irrelevant. This was my second custom, and it was definitely my most in-depth.

Best Fix?

My Anime Mythos broly had a loose leg weeks after opening. Leg fell out, and the peg was oily. I tried cleaning it with soap, and it seemed to work. Now, weeks after that, I check, and this crack has developed.

What's the best fix to get this joint working again?
