Beginning Customizer Help!

Posted in Custom Workstation

Hello, I am a new customizer, and member to these forums. I began working on a figure through some of the details described by Mike Amos in the latest Playstation Magazine. The article is what got me interested in trying out this hobby. I use to do this type of stuff when I was younger and read all the older Chop Shop sections in the Toyfare Magazine.

In any case, I have a few questions with which I hope some of you can help me with.

I am creating Ethan Thomas, the main character from the video game, "Condemned 2: Bloodshot". I do not know what I should do about the arms, and legs though. Should I cover them with sculpy, or just paint over the already applied paint? I am trying to make the shirt look more like a shirt, and the pants look more like pants, instead of a solid plastic look. Also, what should I do about the joints?

I am using a Punisher Action Figure for this project.

Also, why am I unable to post links or screenshots to the images? They would be pretty helpful.

The first image is of Ethan Thomas from Condemned 2: Bloodshot.
The second image is the Punisher figure which I am using as a base
The third image is what I have done up so far

You need a few more posts before you can post links, it's to help stop spammers.

If you haven't already found our tutorials: http://www.figurerealm.com/customtutorial.php

Sculpey is brittle, buy some Apoxie eventually for more durable results.

What Punisher figure are you using? I know they're mostly black already but paint some black on it again anyway, it'll help your next paint stick to it better.
