I use testors acrylic paint. Testors is a good brand but you can use any brand of paint. Acrylic paint easily washed off if you make a mistake. If you use enamel it will dry sticky and will leave streaks. You might want to look at ffurg. It a great source on custom figure painting.

:D :evil: :D

I agree with DK on using acrylics but do check out ffurg.com for more info.

Hi mm74md,

What kind of customizing were you planning to do? Just a simple repaint or some major boiling and poping?

Just wondering

Just a simple repaint. I took a Kit Fisto & removed the head & hands. I replaced the hands with Saga Qui-Gon & the head of POTF2 Weequay. I need(ed) to paint the hands.

Also wanted a yellow clone commander.

Clone Commander (needs another coat)

Weequay style Jedi (with Clone Wars Kit Fisto in the back). The hands look fine in person but the flash made them look too light. Plus I don't know what's up with my camera & the blurry pics today!

Last shot..more clones

I enjoyed the Weequay custom. Keep up the good work. :D
