Mine did that as well on my GX-06M, I got pretty pissed about it which is why I like how Bandai is doing tank treads now.

I know it can be difficult and time consuming, but is there anyone here with awesome 3D design skills that could make the tank threads for 3D printing? I have seen tons of them on 3D printing forums, but the ones for the SOCs would have to be customized for each figure. I would do it, if I had the knowledge and skill to make them perfect looking. Then I would have them printed at Shapeways.
So, how about it.... ninjahandz? Xiombarg?...anyone?!

We may as well dab some of this stuff on the rubber screw-hole covers of our diecast figures while we're at it. And I know there are many figures that have rubber screw-hole covers. The Yamato diecast Giant Robo figures have screw-hole covers; so if any of you have it look at them rubber dots in the parts and you'll see what I mean. For that matter, Anything on our figures that is rubber could use this extra TLC.  zozo-mag good thinking,But aside from that one figure I dont know of any that have rubber screw covers.They are usually hard plastic like the CMs ones.But yes anything rubber,your right Magengar. |

I think Chachipower would have posted his video here anyway, in a matter of time. I'm just anticipating him, he did a great demonstration of how that rubber protectant, which Baron talked about, works and needs to be applied: All credit goes to Chachipower  |

Ah sorry Baron, I meant credit for the video. Of course you found out (you started thisthread after all). And the music used in the video is some royalty-free music I believe? Kevin MacLeod? Probably. But yeah, the video is his, and now that it's up more people will know about this method |

Was just gonna post lol, so yeah Baron this stuff is amazing. I love that its not greasy, smells ok and above all works! Surprised after all this time of being a car guy, I never came across it! I guess rubber seals werent that important to me. At first I was just brushing it on, but I soon realized its most effective when worked in with fingers. It leaves a soft durable finish on the rubber which hasnt worn out yet from handling. Highly recommended, thanks for the heads up Baron I think Chachipower would have posted his video here anyway, in a matter of time.

Yes I was an auto detailer for years off and on,and never ran into it,probably since its a foreign item.One other thing chachipower is it works on already greying rubber.It actually brings back the black to some degree.I use several coats,2 to 3 on each piece,it brought back my grendizer treads. Great point on using it on rubber hands too!!andthe working in with fingers is a great idea! your video was much needed now it can get out there! BRAVO! |

Yes I was an auto detailer for years off and on,and never ran into it,probably since its a foreign item. I actually could only find it on the US Amazon. I initially tried amazon.de but they had so many different ones and I was too scared to pick one - for all I know, they could have the exact same stuff somewhere in there, but the one that's been mentioned in this thread is a relabeled product for the US market. And dammit, now I have to redo all my treads all over again, I only applied them to the outside and then I actually watched chachipower's video. Doh! I doubt Trider's treads need it at this point since they're still factory fresh. Ideon in the other hand... |

Hey guys. Reviving this conversation a little late, but would it be possible to post pictures of the pieces (TF weapons or otherwise) that you had metal vac'd? I've got a couple of vintage toys I've been dying to restore and would very much appreciate seeing an example of the finished product.
Thanks much.

Just Saw this :     This eraser can smoothly remove bad plating colors without sanding surface. Then goes the colors application + coating... |

Dried up and crumbly GX-06 Getter 3 tank treads. 2 years too late.  Other affected Chogokins now applied with the rubber protectant/sealant. Got the GX-06M training set at roughly the same time and displayed side by side (same duration), no issues with the Getter 3 tank treads. Displayed in Ikea Detolf shelf since 2006 inside a 7 x 24 air conditioned room maintaining 22-25C temperature. Relative room humidity is around 35-40.    |
