Liquid Ocelot Custom (1st Custom)

Posted in Custom Workstation

Hi, I'm working on a Liquid Ocelot custom (the antagonist from Metal Gear Solid 4). Since this is my first custom, I have a few questions (and yes, I took a peek at the tutorials):

1) What paints are the best? I have a Michael's nearby and I'm wondering if I can find any decent ones there.

2) What base figure comes to mind when you look at Liquid Ocelot? (you'll have to Google him since I don't have the privilege to post links)

3) Do you reccomend the heat method or the boiling one? I know it depends on the material, but which one is safer?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I know. I can't find ANY Movie Masters figures whatsoever. I understand why the Joker one was sold out, but "Goon"? Seriously, people are just buying all the figures they can find and then selling them on eBay. Bastards.

I can't fing the Goon anywhere!
Toys R Us only has batman figures, they don't even have the joker for cryin' out in a beer!
same with target and walmart
I'd prefer Professor X for what I'm using it for but I thought if I could get a goon from a store it would save me some time
either way I'm probably going to end up buying it online somewhere

Yeah, I figured as much about the head. The coat is a nice idea, and I saw a TNA Sting figure which could prove useful. I'm also wondering: where can I find the "Goon" figure first hand? I tried Toys R' Us and even Puzzle Zoo, and I'd really like to see it up close before I buy it. Thanks for the feedback.

not sure if the scale wold be right but if you can get a MGS1 Ocelot from McFarlane you could use that head, modified slightly, you could probably use the coat to if you don't mind that it's rubber.

it would probably be easier to just do the other suggestion tho.

just wanted to give you some options

Wow, I actually saw the "Goon" figure sometime ago and I didn't even remember it. Since it's probably quite common to find it, it seems like a decent if not obvious replacement. Thanks for sharing.

1. I have seen good resultes with all types of paints just thin them and sread them on in many thin coats.

2. I have a work in progress right now. I amusing a Batman

ark Knight Goon with the jacket from the original Ocelot figure from McFarlane and a Dr Strange Head resculpted a bit.

3. Hair dryer works best for me.

Thanks, man! It's nice to see some people have the time to answer. I'll look into these immediately!

UPDATE: Now I see why the X2 Cyclops is the perfect fit. Too bad I can't find him anywhere.
