Normally not since I try to coat things so thinly. I've found if I do two coats of paint on joints it will rub, but thin coats tend to work pretty well.

Nice! Thanks for your tips and looking forward to more of your customs. Hopefully you'll make some of my favorite dc characters like the royal flush gang and the creature commandos.

I haven't. What figures would you use as a base?

That would be good one! I think I could use the new Val Zod as a base too!

I'm having too much fun to stop!

I hope they come out with one someday. they're doing so many versions of characters, it would be a shame if this one got left behind.

Thanks so much! I love the simple design of Superman Beyond. Very clean.

Thanks! Sometimes you gotta dress up.

You may be able to find a paint and primer in one. They have them, but the paints I had were separate. Check your local hobby shop and you may find what you're looking for. Have fun with the custom!

@@superheumann thanks , i’m gonna be using a retro vision marvel legends body mold (I collect legends primarily) I find it’s almost the perfect mold for Manhattan

You'll need a magnifying glass if you don't already have one. First off, eyes suck. I'm not going to lie. I use a toothpick and get a tiny amount of white paint for the sclera, then a drop of black for the irises (or whatever color you want the irises to be). The key is then doing another small drop of white on the irises to act like light reflection. It makes a huge difference, trust me.

@@superheumann I’ve got magnifying glasses with lights on them could prob give them a go just hard as all hell as you say they suck. Had a 3D printed Batfleck head I got off of Etsy while back head was great even got a great skin tone. Could I do the eyes. Eventually I got a Mezco head and turned that into DCEU concept flashpoint Batman so just painted over the eyes red

It's such a simple custom, but it pops on the shelf.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I know! About halfway through I was like, "This jacket sucks!"

Thanks!

Sometimes I do. It depends on the figure and what time I have.

@@superheumann would you take on the task I have to make a custom for me ? I’d pay good money. You could take as much time as you need to make it look perfect.

@@benaberle5767 What figure are you looking to have done?

@@superheumann if you’re up to the Challenge I’m looking for a Captain Atom Monarch from the 44 countdown series comic book run. I’d prefer him to be in the 7 inch range of scale.

@@benaberle5767 That's an interesting one. What would you think about using for the base figure?

@@nybackyardlegend4 do it! It’s wonderful to have the character in the mix with the other green lanterns.

@@superheumann Yes I will tackle it I have a few to try out this weekend for sure and some repaints I love repainting this line.

@@nybackyardlegend4 do it! I just saw Carapax on sale on Amazon for $20.

@@superheumann As It Should Be By Now, Thanks

@@ASSIANRED that is an awesome idea! I hadn’t thought of that. I’m going to do it the next time I use Milliput.

@@MTB214 I’ll definitely check it out!

I've thought about Mr. Terrific for sure. As for the new Superman, I'll wait to see what McFarlane comes up with.

Obrigado meu!

Thanks! That's a great compliment.

That's a smart idea. I honestly can't remember which wrestling figure it was. I had it for so long before it got used that I completely forgot.

😆 She does look like Lady Gaga!

I'm not sure what to use as a base, but I have a Hush figure that might do the trick. I think I'll need to make that happen.

Do it! It makes collecting so much more fun.

🤣

Thanks!

That's a good idea. I'll have to check my local Targets. It's a solid buck.

Thanks! I definitely like it more now.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. For me, it's always worth the effort.

The flesh tone I used was actually from a Hobby Lobby and I think I got it for $2. If you have a craft store in your area you can get pretty cheep paints. They aren't as good as the more expensive stuff, but if you're spraying the figure with a sealer after the fact, they can work just fine and save you some money.

@@superheumann I do not unfortunately, I just rely on whatever paint I find at discount stores.

@@hawktalon7890 You can still make it work. Don't give up!

Dang! Thanks for the heads-up. I’ll check my stats and see if anything is off.

Only when it's heated up for a bit and is softened can it be removed, I've never had any issues with the symbols falling off, they are also keyed in which helps. They are solidly attached.
