Yeah, I wanted to see it too.
Boiled my Desert Flamethrower in yellow ritde for 20 mins. The bugger turned orange, not yellow, and when I put the little bast*rd together his f***ing thighs had warped.
B*stard!

As they say in Australia, sh*t happens. Fire up the BBQ and rip a tinny out of the fridge and all will be good.
I'd like to see Airtight too, he's a great figure.

thats a shame ... did you keep the thigh parts together whilst boiling ?
I had a similar problem with a torso, I know now that I should have kept the halves loosly screwed together. better luck next time ?

LOL - I wasn't too bothered in the end, but I'm not venturing down the ritdye path again...
However I've done a heavily sculpted custom that is far more in my comfort zone - a Red Shadow scientist, though nothing like any Joe/AF figure or custom anyone has ever seen!!!
