    Glenn! You helped me save my stormtrooper! I'm so happy and thankful. Really thankful that you put this video up. I recieved a Star Wars Black Series Sandtrooper for Christmas, and love it. The only problem was that his knee joint was not connected to his thigh correctly because the pin was falling out on one side. It was either I return it, or fix it. This video showed me exactly how to fix it! I just heated up the knee, tinkered around with the pin to get it to fit, clamped it on with the plyers, and boom, his knee was now FIXED! And I have been playing with the Sandtrooper all day. Thanks!

      I also had the same knee problem with my Thor movie action figure from the 3 3/4 inch line. I do have another Thor figure where the arm wasn't connected because of bad manufacturing so I had to open up the hole with a L-Shaped Hex Wrench where the arms insert into the torso and I got the shoulder peg to go inside.

    Dear Glenn, I was such a fan of yours and your work. You brought a burst of comedy and positivity to the action figure community that is still unmatched today. The hole left from your passing cannot ever be filled.
    I am following this video to make a custom sarge from sarge's heroes and it's coming along swimmingly.

    True. With the knee pad on wrestling figures its not like you can make use of the double jointed knees in posing. I'm more interested in finding some feet that could match so he gains an ankle pivot

  • @GlennWebbVideos

    Wow that price is outrageous! Primer is like an undercoat you apply before you paint. Personally I don't use it. Nulin Oil is a wash that you brush on and it sinks into the recesses creating visual depth. I'll try to do a painting tutorial at some point

      Hello again Glenn, just ran across some tutorials on mixing Citadel paints and a recipe that may work for his trunks is by mixing Enchanted Blue with Sunburst Yellow. Would you say that works? Curious to know which paints you mixed to come up with the green for you Warrior's trunks. Thanks!

    whats the sand paper you used? do you not use nail varnesh remover to get rid of tats? this seemed to work well for me when removing a CM Punk beard

    • @GlennWebbVideos
      @GlennWebbVideos  11 лет назад

      Just a fine sandpaper. You can use nail varnish remover. I just use sandpaper as I have it to hand for sanding joints to prevent paint rub

    • @UltimateSenshi
      @UltimateSenshi 11 лет назад

      Glenn Webb Also would you reccomend using that flesh colored citadel paint to match a jakks skin tone to a mattel? (specificly the hogan r3 which has the light skin tone and not the tanned)

    • @GlennWebbVideos
      @GlennWebbVideos  11 лет назад

      Maybe. Buy some other paints too in case you need to lighten or darken it. It's rare you match a figure's skin tone straight out of the pot
