Just how bad IS the Rubies?

I noticed that someone mentioned a spraypaint job for the helmet. Any recomendations on which kind works best.

 

For my own Rubies mod, I used Krylon FUSION. It bonds to plastics and vinyl EXTREMELY well. After a proper cure time, it can be lightly wet sanded with 2000 grit sandpaper and then NOVUS polished to a nice plasteel shine! :D

Thanks! I'll look into that. I have a old Rubies that is kinda beat up. I've been using it, but need to work on it a bit.

 

Gonna work on the warping tonight, and probably touch up a few areas because of a troop tomorrow.

 

Is their anything that can be done short term for scuffs and things like that?

Not really,... But for your troop tomorrow, it will look like battle damage
