Great paint job dude. Now that I see it assembled and painted I will go to the game shoppe and pick it up....

And a wonderful paintjob to pull off the whole thing!

Ok, so after being motivated by Muse's excellent work, I went ahead and opened my giant skulli, only to find bad warping and parts that didn't look right.

I was pissed

However, for those of you that are also finding this as a problem with your reaper bones dudes, I found a pretty simple fix OL to rectify these scenarios.

Grab a large bowl of ice water, set it to the side of the stove. Grab a pot, or sauce pan and boil some water in it, grab some tongs or something to hold your bones mini in the boiling water, for no longer than 20-30 seconds, then pull it out, hold the bent or warped parts to your liking, then quickly submerge the mini into the ice water for 20-30 seconds.

Worked wonderfully for my probs, and they were pretty severe, hope that helps ne-1 else with these issues

Have seen that advice floating around ever since their first kickstarter project.
