    I've seen many attempts on trying to fix this action figure, but I think byfar this is the best representation of John Walker! Nice job Ken!

      One small critique: the stars on the U.S. Agent costume are supposed to be black. The promotional artwork somehow missed this detail, but you can see it in the show's last episode when he dons the outfit for the first time.

    The way you fix the hair and stubble on the face has demonstrated high standard of painting. Good job!

  • @shayposting

    Another good way to get rid of the star is to go over it with a Qtip doused with nail polish remover. It eats right through the paint, and if you go over it for long enough it'll eat away at the star as well. Combine that with a few passes of sandpaper and some black paint to hide the blemishes, and boom, no more star.

    I think the MCU using John walker to lead a suicide squad style team up film would be a great idea. With the new black widow, abomination, Sylvie, zemo and any other villain that actually lives past the end of the film haha thatd be very interesting to see 😁

    Every video you do inspires me to improve my Legends figures, even when I don't always think they need improving. You're the only one on UA-cam doing tutorials aimed particularly at Legends collectors, and you do them so well, so I don't know why you've not even hit 10K subs yet.

    It's nice what you did here, Bro.
    But, if I may suggest. Since in the comics, he's shield has a different design and color. I suggest changing the colors to red, black, and silver/gray. You can leave the star shape though.
    It may not be film-accurate but it can be comic-inspired.

    I can’t wait to see more of him. Wish the show was abt a pandemic like how it was originally but then C19 happened. That was a stupid move. Also wish the MCU didn’t kill all their villains like Crossbones. Walker is the equivalent of ppl saying “I’d totally be like Captain America!” But then so psycho like him. Steve was a great human, and a good soldier who would go against them to save someone meanwhile he’s just a lap dog.

    This looks great! I've been meaning to fix my US Agent, I was just planning on cutting off the star and repainting the stripes, but the other stuff you added makes it look way better so I might try that too. Also if you don't mind me asking, do you have any problems with the paint around the joints rubbing off, and does the texture of the figure feel sticky at all after you paint it? I'm just wondering because those are both problems I have run into. Thanks!

    • @KenIMakeIt
      @KenIMakeIt  2 роки тому +2

      The paint doesn’t dry sticky for me. I do sometimes have the issue of the paint rubbing off at the joints. I try to keep the paint around the joints thin / minimal. I’m going to test out varnishes to see if it helps

    • @Optimusprime809
      @Optimusprime809 2 роки тому +1

      I've had the same problems as you Snowman! I've heard that for the joint areas, you should sand them down before painting, so that they're rough and the paint has something to grip onto. As for stickiness, consider thinning your paints down, either with water or an appropriate paint thinner. Also consider using more model-focused paint, like Tamiya, Citadel or AK Interactive.

For a matt varnish, buy AK interactive's ultra matt varnish, I just used it yesterday for the first time and it's basically perfect and can be mixed with Pledge to give semi gloss.
