Thank you so much! You have been insanely helpful, I have been trying to ask people on forums for custom made toys but no one seems to like to answer beginners like me. Last question (this week ) do you use testors paint? If not which paint do you use because your colors are amazing! And do you put anything on the MB before or after painting?
I use acrylic paints, not testors. That way if you need to mix a color you can. I use reaper paints, but any can be ok if its good quality. I always base coat a figure first. On this figure it was red, that saved painting later on. Lots of figures are base coated black or beige if it has a lot of skin showing.
After its all done, I have a matte finish and a gloss finish. The matte finish give a more realistic 'worn' look but doesn't seem to protect quite as well. The gloss give a 'factory' finish and prevents chipping.
Always happy to help another customizer! especially mega bloks!
Hello I have just joined the custom mega bloks world. I have bought numerous halo and marvel mega bloks and will begin to swap them and paint them to create cool figures. I would really like to know where you got those wings from?
