Oh man can you imagine the sheer mad misguided will it would take to gather up that many arks and just paint em up?! Oh man...people would look for you. Someone would out you. You might not even be safe to travel :)

I was so angry when I saw your paintjobs, now I'm very happy, don't get me wrong, the paintjobs are great, but I thought you were painting real Ark's...  I want one so bad now, I'm assuming you have the original kong?

thank you.  first time casting in resin. it's a lot of work. I really admire everyone that does it. got a bunch of help from my buddy dustin.  the magnets work well. strong, but limited articulation as they only rotate one way.  I have a several of these guys casted. need a lot of work to trim and insert magnets. some unpainted, some painted.  yes, the idea was different weapons. notice the ball above. it replaces the hand. I will attach a chain to it as well.

so you cast these parts in sepparate and the attach with little rare earth mags? if that is the case - outtasite and outstanding. lotta folks casting in resin and other casting materials these days - which is so not as easy as it doesn't look. i keep my first casting experiment in mind whenever i paint toys to remind me that failure is so often just part of the process of discovery. i love to see people casting is resin, and i really really dig the way you overcame the resin issue of difficulty in articulation of the piece - one of the big boredoms of resin is no articulation, and you stomped it out with those magnets. will you do your own line? how bout different swappable arms/legs/heads? all easily attached/detached with magnets. weapons...hats even? you appear to have all the skillsets required to take it head-on.
