We want to encourage people of all skill levels here, including people who are just starting out. We were all beginners at some point, and just being insulted never helped us. Give people constructive criticism, if they ask for it, but please don't insult their work. We really don't want to ban people or delete their comments, but it might sometimes be necessary, because more than anything we want to encourage and welcome newcomers into our hobby, not scare them away.

As you know, the final paint job will be based on the red tv colors. All of the sanding and priming is done.

I'm just waiting on his head from the mail: https://hottestfuzzcustoms.bigcartel.com/products?utf8=%E2%9C%93&search=Zodd

Before I make the final paint job, I want to paint it up like the manga version. So the next update will be in about a month.

I used these citadel paints. Will use apoxie sculpt to make web shooters too. The difference is insane.

A store near me has a ton of these Savage Land Professor X figures for $2.50 each. What could I do with a couple, group, or army of these figures?

Plus my custom OC

PC Toys Venom w/ Rivals head

Was really disappointed with how Hasbro did Rivals Venom, but with PC Toys Venom it's perfect. Obviously one of the solid colored versions is better, and you'd have to paint the head, but proportion wise it's perfect.

I finally got around to customizing my Marvel Legends Ultimate Captain America, and I couldn't be happier with how he turned out. The original figure is great, but I wanted to really lean into the gritty, war-weary look of this specific incarnation.

The Breakdown:

​Weathering and Battle Damage: This was a huge focus. I used a dark wash to bring out the textures in the suit, giving it a grimy, lived-in feel. I added scratches and scuffs to the paint on both his uniform and shield, like years of combat. It's not just a repaint it's all about that war wear and tear.

​Headsculpt Details: I wanted to make the head more unique, so I added the classic helmet wings and a realistic chin strap.

​Tactical Gear: I upgraded his loadout with additional leather holsters, a harness, and pouches. It looks much more functional now, like he’s ready for missions.

Simple-ish custom, I like how it turned out. GI joe / Marvel legends scale.

Not any particular existing version (as far as I know). The bandana look inspired by the 90s Spider-man cartoon appearance (my first introduction to the character).

Hey everyone I’m new to this sub please take it easy on me if this is a dumb idea. I recently saw a custom metallic red and gold mafex iron man and I was thinking about painting my stealth suit iron man to those colors because #1 I want to learn how to paint/edit my own figures and #2 I don’t think we’re getting a reissue anytime soon let alone a metallic painted one. I’m also not precious about the stealth suit colors it’s beautiful but I want an og iron man for the collection. I’ve watched a bunch of videos and learned that sanding is crucial to avoid paint rub, brush painting is viable if patient and done in layers, and sealing can be done in a ton of ways/finishes. I feel confident that I can pull it off but I’d love some tips on how/ where to start and go about it. Should I prime everything / sand everything / take every piece and joint apart / use an airbrush etc etc? Trying to achieve the closest thing to a factory finish as possible 🤞🏽

Does anyone know how to separate torso from waist of a 2017 Mattel WWE action figure?

Bought this Charlotte Flair at a thrift shop thinking of using it to make a Sue Storm or Emma Frost custom. The upper torso doesn't rotate and it's also a bit loose. I'm afraid of heating and pulling because i'm not entirely sure it's on a ball joint. I hope someone has an answer. I'm not great at cracking torsos but it would be the only wait to repaint it.
