Working with Mega Bloks

Posted in Custom Workstation

Hey there all, new to the site.

I am working on using existing Mega Bloks pieces and molds to make my own Metal Gear Solid characters. I have already made MGS1 Snake, and am working on MGS3 Naked Snake and MGS1 Liquid Snake. I would like to make a MGS3 The Boss, but female body molds are so hard to come by with Mega Bloks. I have one that all black plastic, but The Boss wore a white body suit. I don't think paint would take too well, and I have never painted anything to begin with. I was thinking bleach, but I read that wouldn't do anything to the black plastic. I came here hoping to get some tips.



That should be a pic of The Boss, to give you a better idea. Thank you for any tips!

Simplest solution is to sand the figure and paint it. I don't know how you're going to recreate all those details in the suit without paint or sculpting.

Painting isn't hard, give it a week of practice and you'll be fine.

I have no experience with making molds. What is a good online resource I could go to to learn how?

Have you thought about making molds of the base figures and casting them with white resin?

Art you making them from the bloks themselves, or the little figures in the MegaBloks line?
