That's too bad no one at Michael's could assist. When the Enamel is totally dry I think any quality Clear Acrylic spray, probably of the glossy variety, would do the trick.
A KING huh? ...interesting.

GE...not Michaels....ACE or True Value HW. You want regular old glossy or satin clear spray paint. You get it at a hw store for 5 a can. Just remember to move the joints every 15 mins or so AND USE A GLOVE OR BAG TO TOUCH IT BETWEEN COATS and remember that 10 light coats is better no matter how bad you "just want to be done".
Now for the enamel issue...I am a moron. The solvents used in enamels are xylene, acetone, or mineral spirits. Those are reactive (ie melt) the soft plastics that Tix are made of on contact. That's why they never dried!!! Just figuted that one out 5 mins ago.......after 2 years....

I tried giving him an uppercut DareDevil spring. That became a fiasco. Not as easy as a torso mechanism. So right now he is all manuel. That might change later. However, I don't want to make him too strong. I feel he's (Han in the movies) not really adapt to using a lightsaber so it make no sense to make him a strong striker. I just like the look of it with both hands on the saber and the potential of an uppercut attack. Time will tell if I try again.

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound He pulls the spitting high tension wires down
Helpless people on a subway train Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them
He picks up a bus and he throws it back down As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town
Oh no, they say hes got to go Go go godzilla, yeah Oh no, there goes tokyo Go go godzilla, yeah
Rinji news o moshiagemasu! Rinji news o moshiagemasu! Godzilla ga ginza hoomen e mukatte imasu! Daishkyu hinan nutse kudasai! Daishkyu hinan nutse kudasai!
Oh no, they say hes got to go Go go godzilla, yeah Oh no, there goes tokyo Go go godzilla, yeah
History shows again and again How nature points up the folly of men Godzilla!The biggest, baddest, and meanest monster on the planet. GODZILLA! Now here to protect us from the invading aliens from the planet X. Enjoy the pictures. This took me a long time to do. Frontal shot w/o flame loaded. Side shot with flame loaded. Close up of UFO that he has captured and plans on throwing (captain americas shield) at his enemies. Process. 1. He stands on a Republic Gunship base that I had to alter greatly to make sure his feet could even fit. I had to remove the top cover of it and cap off the spring as shown in the pictures on the first page. 2. His mouth was hollowed out with a drill and has an Optimus Prime S2 gun in it. O.P.'s gun had to be sawed off on the front and back to make sure it would fit. 3. Spike was added to top of his head to cover what remained of O.P.'s gun that was exposed. Sculpted, glued, and then painted. 4. Base was covered with putty and made to look like a battle of magnatude had taken place. 5. U.F.O. was painted by using Captain Americas sheild. 6. Second U.F.O. was made from putty and made to look as though it was scratched and shot with a flame by Godzilla. It is crashed by his feet. 7. Captain Americas shooter was removed and placed onto Godzillas arm so that he can now shoot it at opponet. Label will be changed along with a few touch up's here and there. This took me approximatly a week and a half to complete with my spare time and a lot of thought.

That's amazing. 'Tix customs should be considered an art.

Label front (Thank you Malform and ConaChris for TixTools) Custom image in place of (M) Mega symbol He is classified as an MO1 - Monster 1 Needs touched up here and there with paint and then sealed. But here he is in all of his green glory.

Love the Godzilla!!! Discount stores and places like K-Mart & K-Bee have 'Zilla and his buddies on sale all the time. You could have an all out Mega Monster Battle. Throw in some break away cardboard buildings that you destroy/knock down for points and you've got a great game on your hands!
