Error: Unknown photo idNot too many people are aware that I'm interested in toy customization, but I thought I'd share this photo of a classics Mirage (http://www.shmax.com/part_details/603) I've been working on. Changing the blue to a matte black was fairly straightforward , but what you're probably more interested in is the striking translucent effect. I achieved this by first soaking the toy in a mixture of vinegar, acetone, and grape soda for 10 hours, then baking it under an ultraviolet light until the desired translucency was achieved. Just kiddin'--this is the exclusive Electro Disruptor Ligier (http://www.shmax.com/part_details/18052) from Japan. Hellscream333 won this in the September Photo Contest, and was good enough to supply us with a few photos. You know, now that I think about it, someone should really try the thing with the vinegar. I mean, with enough vinegar and UV light, something's gotta happen. Even if it didn't turn translucent, maybe it would get all rubbery in the vinegar, like a chicken bone. Now remember, this is something you should really do with adult supervision--even if you're an adult yourself--because if there's one thing adults like doing, it's watching other people do bizarre things with toys in the kitchen.
