Thank you!! :)

I used Mod Podge matt on my HT ESB Vader suit. Thanks for watching!

You're very welcome, and thank you for the kind words! Happy collecting!

Glad you're trying it! I'm sure it will turn out great. I find its always important to clear coat and seal the ground before applying the snow. If you don't, the snow ingredients my reactivate the dried pigments in the ground. (That will then stain your white snow.) Thnaks for watching!

Please make more videos!!!!

I have not done Luke's Saber, but I did Qui Gon's. I would recommend TAMIYA TAM81025 Acrylic X-25, which is a clear green gloss. Thanks for watching and for the question!

That's awesome! Good luck and have fun with the process. Thanks for watching!

You're very welcome and Thanks for watching! Hopefully, this helps.

Thanks so much, James!

My apologies on this one. I d/l it online but I do not recall where. I remember it was free, but I had to re-scale it to 1/6 scale (from 1/4), and went through a few prints before the size was right. Thanks for watching though! I recommend looking through CG trader.

Thats awesome! Hope its going well. And thanks for watching!

Thanks so much! All paint brands and colors are listed in the video subtitles. Mostly Vallejo and FW inks. (But feel free to ask if I forgot to list any.) The thin brush for details is a Winsor & Newton Series 7 (size 0 or size 1. The larger brushes are cheap brushes from the local hardware store.

No one covers the rubber figures I've tried to find a video....I don't have a detolf...I've decide to just box them back up until I get a detolf

Thanks for watching! I dont have that figure. If it is like the HT Spidey suits, it may be difficult to prevent the 'sticking'. Also, having a dislay cabinet is important, but it won't solve any humidity issues. Also, Detolfs are not sealed so your figures will get dusty. (I sealed my detolfs with strips of weathering pile. That really helps with the dust.)

Thank you for the info that really helps

Hope you had fun with it! Thanks for watching!

Sure. I dont see why not. Thanks for watching!

It depends on the environment in your display area. If you have a good HVAC system and/or the humidity in your area remains consistent and under 60%, I would say to reapply every 3- 6 months. Conversley, if your display area had no humidity control and humidity is constantly spiking (i.e., Tropic climates with no HVAC) then apply 1 to twice a month. (But in this latter scenario, the 303 will only help so much before the pleathe rbegins to detriorate. The firts goal is to first manage the humidity.)

Thanks for watching and good question. The issue with Leather Honey is that its only for Leather. Not for Faux leather or pleather. (According to the product info on their site.) I dont knwo much about TriNova, but i think its the same with that product. Personally I would stick with 303 or a coat of mod podge.

Thnaks for watching! No, it shoudl not restrict movement or crack. (It's never happended to any of the boots I've applied it to.)

Thnaks for the kind words and for watching! This is a great question. (I may need to try something on my HT Dog Alien.) Mod Podge glass isnt a terrible idea. It shouldn't make too static, but it may not be as flexible as before. Another option is Angelus Gloss Coat. Because Angelus is designed for textiles, it should retain flexibility.

Hey Thanks for watching and for your comment! Good luck and hopefully you don't see any issues. Starting with the 303 should help! And yes, unboxing an older figure is always nerve-wrecking. Even if the original owner had it displayed in a climate controlled area and took great care, who knows how long it was boxed up before getting to you and what the environment conditions were during shipping. (The older the Pleather, the more sucseptible it is to drastic climate changes.) Still, if the pleater on your particular figure was sealed, this should provide significant protection.

Thanks for watching and for your question! Yes, it should work. However, my suggestion is to apply a very small amount of 303 to a non-visible area first. Let it sit for a month or so, then inspect it to ensure it has not caused any strange stains. It shouldn't.... but this is what I would do to be safe.

Thnaks for watching, and sorry to hear about the Mezco! If its pleather, and its cracked but not yet peeling, I would use Mod Podge. Thta should create a seal that prevents further detrioration. For the other pleather components that are still in good shape, start applying 303 with a microfiber towel every 3 - 6 months.

Hey thanks for watching! I do not own that figure, but if the components are pleather (i.e., look and feel like pleather) I would use the methods and products described in this video.

I don't own any of the Mezcos, but these emthods will work on most pleather components. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! The links for all products are in the video description. Let me know if they dont work for you.

You're very welcome!

Thanks for watching! The 2.0 should be an awesome figure.

Yes, it should help. It adds a top coat sealer to an existing pleather component. However, I do not have the JL Batman so can't comment directly on that particular figure. From what I have seen though, Mod Pdge may be a good idea. Thanks for the question!

You're very welcome! It typically depends on your environment. Personlly I reapply every 6 months or so. (My display room is in a climate-controlled environment.) However, if your pieces are displayed in a non-controlled environment subject to drastic swings in temp and humidity, you may want to apply more often.

@@metamorphiccustoms Good to know! Thanks for the reply and additional advice! I just got a GameToys Cloud, so I want to make sure I make the body last as long as possible.

I have never used baby oil, but I hear its a good alternative. I just can't confirm from personal experience. Thanks for the question!

My pleasure! And thank you for watching!

Good question. The Mod Podge already serves as the permanent coating. Adding Angelus after that would be fine, but redundant. The 303 is a non-permanent coating that adds a level of moisture to the product keeing it hydrated, but it isnt absoutely required either. Just using the Mod Podge by itself should be enough. Thanks for watching!

No, I wouldn't. I have the HT Kilmer and have not applied 303, or anythiing else for that matter. It has a particular sheen that may be affected by the 303. Thanks for the question!

Not really. Its just the guage I find works well with the scale. (i.e., fitting into the hilt.) You may have some difficulty fitting a thicker wire into a standard 1:6 scale hilt. Thanks for watching!

Nvm you said in the video! 1:1

Yup 1:1. Thanks for watching!

Indeed! Just remember to use a mask. Thanks for watching!

Just the parts which are visible or easy to get to. Thanks for watching and for your question!

Indeed he did! Thanks for watching!

The 303 and Mod Podge are really for pleather or thin vinyl components. I have a couple of HT Spideys. My guess is 303 and mod podge should not be applied to these suits. They appear to be a fabric or a rubber mix, which do not require 303. (In a worse case scenario, 303 could even damage/ stain fabrics. ) I have heard alot of complaints of the HT Spidey suits creasing after being posed. But I have never heard of them cracking or peeling. This leads me to believe the material does not require 303. Thanks for watching!

@@metamorphiccustoms awesome. I was just curious. I assume this is also the same for whatever material venom is made out of? The main issue would just be creasing and sticking if it's kept in some sort of dynamic pose for a long period of time?

@@JohnSmith-mt8tqThat’s correct. I know several people actually use the Shin Etsu grease for Venom. (It’s the other product I covered in another video for maintaining HT’s with soft TPU bodies.) ruclips.net/video/XoosKovj_v8/видео.htmlsi=ZGjR_JkoLYmiuG-J

Do you mean to ask 'what if you apply 303 to non-pleather materials'? If so, please be aware that 303 may stain different fabrics or non-pleather materials. This is not always the case, but don't risk it. If you were asking if its ok to apply 303 to pleather, then yes, I always recommend applying it to HT's pleather components. Thanks for watching and for your question!

Thanks for the kind words! :) This was a fun project!
