micronauts space glider custom trade

got mine.
Now to think...
Anyone started applying paint? Any problems sticking to the metal bodies?
Also, anyone take one apart yet? Are they hard to put back together? I'm a bit nervous that if I take the screw off the gliders it's going to spring apart.

 

I've taken it apart.
It's not hard to put it back together.

 

As far as taking the screw off of the "dash-wing"—which is what those winged backpacks are called—it's not hard to disassemble, but there is a small spring there and it might be frustrating the first few times to reassemble. But it can be done. I did it when I was 10 and did it again recently 30 years on.

Not too sure about the pain on metal, but I'd assume that a primer or sanding parts down might help. But I have never owned any of the Palisades reissues so not too sure about how good (bad?) the metal is as far as paint application goes.

 

I have the sickest "header" finished for mine. I have my guy apart and waiting for paint. Be sure not to strip the tiny screws and that spring sure is small. What are you guys doing for headers?

 

There's a spring?
How come I don't have a spring...

 

The spring is what causes the "wings "to pop out. If you take the screw out of the backpack there is a small spring.

 

Ooh, didn't take apart the backpack.
That's why.

 

hey how is everyone doing? just checking to feel the waters on our trade timewise.
i know that i am painfully behind in most areas of my life but i finished my figure
last night and wanted to see if others may need a bit more time.

the due date is 12.20.08 which i wanted everyone to at least have pics of their figure
to post at that point. if anyone needs more time please speak up so we can adjust. i
would rather have this take extra time than not work out for some.

what says you?

 

im behind so more time would be good but if everyone else is on schedule i will try to pick up the pace.

 

i'd love more time....

 

+1

 

i'm good with more time, but i'm afraid i would just procrastinate further.

 

more time would be great for me too. I have big ideas, but they're all in my head so far, and I'd love to be able to make the best of this little guy!

 

A bit more time would be good, my schedule is crazy right now...

 

a little more time sounds good..since I still need to get mine from hms..but whatever everyone else wants is cool with me.I can pull it off in a day

 

a little more time would be great, busy with Christmas and an awesome upcoming event in PGH.

 

more time please. just have to finish up these star wars cards.

 

Star wars cards? Nice! I used a g.i. joe card. The duke figure came with an american flag that maked room for the base and backpack of the space glider.

 

lets extend to 01.09.09 plus i have to send out a
replacement to Phil because it had a bad rivet in
the figures arm..

if anyone else got a defective one just hit me up
via pm so that we can all make the new deadline
thanks again for being involved.

i will announce the random trade partners on the
orginal due date so that everyone can exchange
whenever you are ready.

 

This custom trade is gonna rock!

 

1-9-09 would be great. i haven't started yet .. it will get done! i'm behind on shopping for others besides myself

 

How's everybody looking for this trade...I'm done.

 

ugh...too many deadlines. Will try...

 

almost done I had a major set-back. It was a dissaster but the figure will recover...

 

I'm done mine too.
