I was using this figure as a test subject for using new paints and paint methods. I give Kyle Robinson props for this because it is the same paint detail used in the Metallic Colors tutorial. I have been using the apple barrel paints for years and it never dawned on me that there was something better. I never had luck with testors paint in the past but thank to the tutorials and getting introduced to the master acrylic paints I an now a happier customizer. I now can pose a figure without the paint scratching of and it no longer feel like tericota:) Again I want to thank Kyle Robinson, Jin Saotome, Dr. Nightmare, and the many great customizers here at the realm for the tutorials, great advice on materials, and inspiration. I realize that this isn't the best custom figure ever made but now that I have the painting power, and I'll soon be getting some better sculpting material, and a dremel (I told my girlfriend that is what I want for Christmas)... The floodgates have opened and the customes are going to pooring out of this customizer. ![]() |

Don't you just love that feeling of motivation?
Seems like every customizer, at least once in their career, hits that spot when they start and they can't stop!
As Doc said, you are definetly making headway with your new set of paint!
Apple Barrel paints are one of those harder paints to get to work the way you want-I think the only customizer I've seen pull them off was Ratboy, and we all think he has magic powers lol.
Again, very nice work!!! Can't wait to see what else you bring out to the table!
And try not to get hooked on spray paints, the more you practice with your brush, the less hassle you'll have later on. If you ever want to, you could consider getting an air-brush just to do base-coats super-fast or even some really cool shading like GJ and FastFreddie.
Again though, good job, that thing looks like real metal.
Yeah man, you actually feel like making a ton of customs when you know how to paint, it's tough to get started but it's so worth it once you get the hang of it.
