Picked up two Swaggers... Thoughts on a Rhyno custom? Too tall? Too thin? Too small? Check out theoneandonly1979's Rhino on page 792 for an idea on parts He's using a Nikolai Volkov body. Which IMO would come across as huge for the 2001 era. I'm trying to recreate.

Wish I had some decent painting skills ha ha. This really needed to be an elite. Maybe I'll pull my big boy pants on and try my hand at some paint.

Completely re-painted in white? Yes sir. Paint the tights white and repaint the hearts on the tights so that they match the hearts on his kneepads and wrist bands.

You could take apart the legs completely (pretty much at every point of articulation), get that krylon spray paint stuff that bonds to plastic then all you'd have to do was get decals for the hearts

They're close enough. If you can get hold of a decent white paint you could probably just paint around the Hearts.

E32 mysterio boots for billy gunn work? They could but i'm not 100% sure about it. Seems like they're the tall ones like the LOD but i want to check out in person.

@punk, I enjoy your work very much. However, you seem to have the same problem I had when first starting out with acrylic paints like FolkArt and Delta Ceramcoat- the thickness factor. Seems to come out a bit chunky. Just a friendly tip, I would suggest thinning your coats with water. This is very simple to do; once you dip your brush in the paint, dip it in a cup of water right afterward, then paint away. It makes a world of difference! Thank you. Will try this in the future going forward! No problem brotha. Look forward to seeing your new work!

Hey guys, just a quick question... I've just brought some super sculpey to do some customs, but it's an oven bake product. Just wondering what you guys do to harden the stuff? Surely oven baking a plastic figure would either melt it or in the least, warp it... The best thing to use is apoxie... it's almost the same consistency as Sculpey, however it'll dry overnight. Then all you have to do is sand it smooth and paint it. I have never tried apoxy, but plan on doing so very soon. However I can serve as a witness to the fact that SuperSculpey works fine, the same way you'd prepare to seperate parts, dunk the sculpted area into a big mug of water that you microwave to a boil. That stuff is rocl solid one to two minutes after hitting boiling hot water.
